Hi,
Since the last Xorg update, I've been experiencing lags and fatal freezes in several apps (ie : MPV, Chromium).
After some troubleshooting, it happens that the problem comes from the move from xf86-video-ati 7.7.0 to xf86-video-ati 7.8.0 on cards like [AMD/ATI] RS880 [Radeon HD 4290].
If you encounter a similar issue, the following config may be needed to fix it :
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
#Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "DRI" "3"
#Option "TearFree" "on"
Option "ColorTiling" "on"
Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
EndSection
Hope it will be helpful to some
Cheers
JP
