Since fglrx-driver 8.42.3-2 most of the openGL screen (either full screen
or windowed) is corrupted when the width of the openGL window is more than
1760 pixels.
The way it looks: top of the window (1/4 or so) looks OK, the rest of the
screen is mostly obscured, i.e. some polygons are visible but the screen is
mostly black.
system:
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [Radeon 9800 Pro] (using the secondary
monitor in two monitor setup, primary is off)
fglrx-driver-8.42.3-2, fglrx-driver-8.43.2-2 (both have same problem)
any ideas? didn't find exactly the same problem on the net (found the one
about the corruption of lower right corner which is much different symptom
than the problem I have)
given that this is openGL problem don't think that open drivers would
help, they seem to not offer much 3D acceleration (and radeonhd says it
works with R500/R600 only)
any ideas?
TIA,
erik
After the last upgrade of the fglrx-driver (8.44.3-1 from Debian Sid) my
Thinkpad with a Mobility Radeon X1400 would no longer produce the
maximum resoltion. I purged it and installed the previous version from
the ATI site to restore things. The RadeonHD driver doesn't work properly
for me; it also gives lower resolution and my xterms are corrupt, with
a double cursor which makes them unusable.
