Dear Mr. Deutcher, thank you for will and readiness to help in this problem!!
I am using radeon.gart=1024, it does not help. Then I upgraded to Tumbleweed (3.11) Glxinfo reports: OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS600 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.2 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 Then I added radeon.dpm=1, there are no information about dpm or powermanagement what so ever in dmesg (unlike 5850 card that I have). I suggest dpm is not supported on this chip. Not great deal, but for example, 5850 is unstable withOUT dpm in 3.11. Lastly, of course I read all patches and responses from people in these two bugs, and tested first switching from 256 VGA memory to 128 via BIOS (only two options), it didn't help. Then I appended "radeon.vramlimit=64" to grub2 kernel line, updated grub, rebooted. Nothing changed. I attach the screenshot showing the issue with gnome-shell corruption and the login triangle issue, that is even more agressive when system comes out of hibernation. dmesg | grep -i radeon says: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.6-4-desktop root=UUID=29100748-63ff-45a1-8642-b795f20d4aea resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1200BEVS-22UST0_WD-WXC208783969-part2 splash=silent quiet showopts radeon.dpm=1 radeon.gartsize=1024 radeon.vramlimit=64 [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.6-4-desktop root=UUID=29100748-63ff-45a1-8642-b795f20d4aea resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1200BEVS-22UST0_WD-WXC208783969-part2 splash=silent quiet showopts radeon.dpm=1 radeon.gartsize=1024 radeon.vramlimit=64 [ 2.276384] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
