Yes, I remember that e-mail conversation, but I believe the problem you pointed out two months ago is a different problem and is specific to Radeon 7500 (RV200) and later cards. FYI, I think the solution to the drawing errors on the 7500 and later cards is to properly set the bres_cntl field in the dst_line_patcount register. However, the problem from the original e-mail in this thread was said to be with a Radeon VE (see the subject line), which is older than the 7500 and does not appear to have the bres_cntl field. As I mentioned above, I've rebuilt from the latest CVS tree, and ran xtest and Mark's linetest program. It all worked fine on my VE card. At this point, I'm not sure what the problem with the VE is.
