Hi all, I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Alpha (I know, bleeding edge) on a x86_64 AMD box with 4Gb of RAM and PCIe X1600 (RV535) card, using the VGA output to an old HP monitor. I'm using kernel 2.6.32-9-generic from Ubuntu, since I'm also using KVM as well.
I'm also using the xorg-edgers PPA as well: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu lucid main Here's what I have installed for Mesa and xserver: sail:~> apt-show-versions | grep radeon libdrm-radeon1/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 libdrm-radeon1-dbg/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 xserver-xorg-video-radeon/lucid uptodate 1:6.12.99+git20100104.48aa5064-0ubuntu0sarvatt xserver-xorg-video-radeon-dbg/lucid uptodate 1:6.12.99+git20100104.48aa5064-0ubuntu0sarvatt sail:~> apt-show-versions | grep mesa libgl1-mesa-dev/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt libgl1-mesa-dri/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt libgl1-mesa-glx/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt libglu1-mesa/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt libglu1-mesa-dev/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt mesa-common-dev/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt mesa-utils/lucid upgradeable from 7.8.0~git20100107.d699b672-0ubuntu0sarvatt to 7.8.0~git20100113.50ae9c60-0ubuntu0sarvatt > apt-show-versions |grep drm libdrm-intel1/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 libdrm-nouveau1/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 libdrm-radeon1/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 libdrm-radeon1-dbg/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 libdrm2/lucid uptodate 2.4.17+git20091230.c5c503b5-0ubuntu0sarvatt3 I will try upgrading later tonight to the absolute latest versions. The system runs fine, except that when I expand an xterm to the full size of the screen (1280x1024), there's corruption on the lower 3-4 lines of the xterm. I can still use it, and if I re-size things so that I raise the bottom up about 20 lines (hard to know exactly and I can measure since I'm not in front of the machine right now) the corruption goes away. Would a screen shot be helpful to show the issue? My xorg.conf has the following section: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc ATI Default Card" Boardname "VESA driver (generic)" Busid "PCI:3:0:0" Driver "radeon" Screen 0 EndSection and my dmesg from bootup looks like this: [ 2.542792] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 ...
