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,
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:

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:

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

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

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
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
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.
