Hi Alex, I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to apply patch 0001-drm-radeon-fix- bank-information-in-tiling-config.patch to a vanilla 3.4.0 kernel here: x66 linux-3.4.0 # pwd /usr/src/linux-3.4.0 x66 linux-3.4.0 # patch -p 1 < /root/patches-20120503/0001-drm-radeon-fix-bank-information-in-tiling-

It works! :-D :-D Unfortunately, I failed to apply patch 0004- to any of my linux sources (something went wrong always...). But I was "brave" enough to test git- sources 3.5-rc1 directly, which already includes your 4 patches, and ... *whew*... it works! Nice to see my second screen coming back t

Hi Alex, do you have any idea what's wrong regarding the Barts LE chipset? If you have a new patch for us, I'm looking forward to help you testing it :-) As I'm running Gentoo Linux on my box, it's no problem for me to run any version (even fetched from git) regarding kernel, libdrm, ati-drivers

Hi Alex, with that additional patch, the kernel doesn't even boot, but stops with a totally black screen just after having been started by grub. I never see any printouts of the kernel... so I can not tell you whether there was any interesting output that I was not able to read. I tested this wit

Hi Alex, today I searched the web to find some specs regarding the BARTS LE chipset of the HD 6790 cards. I found three references that contain useful information: http://ht4u.net/reviews/2011/amd_radeon_hd_6790_barts_le_im_test/index2.php http://www.nordichardware.com/news/71-graphics/42743-exc

Hi Alex, now I was able to apply your patch again and to reboot. Interestingly, kdm started again without any problems, and the mouse cursor was visible again. However, if I log into the system with a newly created test user (KDE), then the mouse cursor immediately vanishes after login (while load

Hi Alex, thanks for your patch, but as I'm not at work in the moment and I only have remote access to my box, I was already able to patch the kernel but not able to reboot it until tomorrow in the morning. However, your patch looks a little bit strange ;-) If I apply it, it duplicates two rows of

Hmm, this is weird. After sucessfully installing Gnome 3.2, I made these observations: Now I do not "see" the mouse cursor anymore. The mouse cursor is "just invisible", but it is still there. But it is not rendered anymore, not in kdm, and not in gdm. If I start X via "startx" as root (then twm i

Hi Alex, I'm currently not using any other DE than KDE. However, I can install GNOME or something similar, for testing purposes, if you think that helps nailing this bug down. Today, I compiled the new beta2 of KDE 4.8.0. This version shows the same artifacts as KDE 4.7.3, which I used before. Ev

Hi, for the moment, I had to switch back to fglrx. My system was not usable anymore, because of spurious misbehavior and some really bad crashes (only if I was working with X). As the aforementioned issues remain, but the GPU lockup of this bug report is "kind of" solved now, what has to happen n

Some additional comments. I never saw noisy widgets again since I use 0x77553311. But all the other glitches remain. Then, I see random misbehavior of the whole system if I'm logged into X. For example, if I start an update (the Gentoo way, lots of compiling, lots of IO, lots of output), after so

Hi Alex, 0x77553311 does not create a GPU lockup, but there is no visible difference regarding the glitches I saw with 0x. * screen rotation works :-) * no screenshots possible :-( * didn't use the system long enough to discover elements containing just noise * resizing of some windows (K

Hi, after some days of using the value 0x, I can tell you that I did not see any GPU lockups anymore. Unfortunately, the remaining glitches and artifacts make the system unusable for a productive environment. * If you "use" the system, after some minutes more and more glitches appear. For
