X Windows does fails to start with KMS-enabled radeon


I've just got Console loaded in the native screen resolutions with KMS-enabled radeon driver.

(here's may another topic on this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...og-4175439083/)

The problem currently is when I want to start Xorg.

The corrupted screen comes up and the mouse cursor is either locked or unlocked periodically (about 10 seconds for every state).

Hardware info:
Code:
# lspci | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek [Radeon HD 6520G]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series]
Graphics stack:
- DRM: radeon module; Kernel v3.6.5;
- Mesa 9.0.1;
- glamor(git)
- xf86-video-ati(git); built with --enable-glamor;

The Xorg.0.log:

Code:

Note: I'm not sure why there are EXA mentions at all. I have "AccelMethod" set to "glamor" (which is alternative to EXA) in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf ...

P.S.: With EXA or even without explicit definition of "AccelMethod" it behaves the same way.

UPDATE: very similar problem I've got when I had xf86-video-ati 7.0.0 (not git) without --enable-glamor. From-git install was an attempt to solve this issue.

Cool

The issue is solved by adding Option "ColorTiling2D" "false" to the "Device" section of xorg.conf

Thanks to Alex Deucher @ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57679 !!
