I have installed 2 GiB of SODIMM DDR2 today, replacing the old 1 GiB module. At OpenSuse Tumbleweed (13.1; knel 3.11/Mesa 9.2) at login screen AFTER Xorg has started I have hexagon (8x8) colored squares, each of them made of two triangles. Each time I move mouse or type something, the triangles in approximate area change colors.
After login, the screen is back to normal, sans gnome-shell specific font corruption and some extra (below). This defects are not present with 1GiB. Also, the Gnome3 gnome-shell border right now has "flightmode" symbol, which is completely white square and sound icon that is divided in four pieces. I suggest this is strictly bug of Xorg driver, this is strictly bug within Mesa texture transfer, the content of those triangles is NOT copied right, this bug does NOT appear outside of Xorg or outside of OpenGL (Grub2 boots perfectly with zero errors via VESA) this bug's effects repeat themselves unless memory configuration change. With different memory config other sorts pop up, but previous stay. This is not bug due to insufficient memory. This bug does not change if different memory window is set in BIOS (I have 128 or 256, I have NO sideport or similar). Please help me fix the bug! I am no programmer or developer, but give me some tools to run on the machine or I can give you VNC/root at any time + paypal tip and a thank you. Please do not be ignorant!! :((((( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556782 Title: [rs690m] [Gateway] Graphics corruption with ati x1200 Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in X.org XServer - ATI gfx chipset driver: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Edit] This bug has been around for a bit over a year now, and has gotten rather long, so this is a brief summary. There is a memory corruption issue that affects users of the rs690m, to varying degrees. For many most people, it makes the desktop unusable. Workaround: *Note: This is a workaround, not a fix. It will give you a usable system. [Natty]: Regression: This workaround now only provides 2d/software rendering, and one must either: * Choose choose the "Ubuntu Classic" session from the GDM Login screen or * Install the "unity-2d" package. [code] sudo su echo options radeon modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf exit [/code] Note that this doesn't totally fix the issue, but brings your desktop to a workable state. Freedesktop.org has dealt with one bug having to do with graphics corruption on the rs690m. That bug has been fixed, but the issue of graphics corruption in general has not been resolved. A new bug has been opened with freedesktop.org to continue pushing through the resolution of this issue.
