black rectangles on Radeon HD 3200

[Arseny Klimovsky]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd

Sometimes (in practically every application) black rectangles appear on different places.

When push PrintScr button, they disappear. So I can only take a foto of the screen.

Previously I used 8.04 and packages from https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa and everything worked correctly.

Same problem since 9.04 with an ATI Radeon Mobilty 3650HD and an Intel mainboard chipset on a 64bit system. I'm using the fglrx driver from ATI. I've also tried the free radeonhd driver and there was no changes.

[Arseny Klimovsky (arseny.klimovsky)]

using version
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd 1.2.5+git20090506.4be5f715-0ubuntu0tormod
the problem is not solved. So it can be some other component which changed in 9.04 release

It is definitely not radeonhd driver bug, because it also appears using fglrx driver.
May be someone can guess from the photo which package can produce such effects?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Can you please also try the default driver, -ati/-radeon?

[Arseny Klimovsky (arseny.klimovsky)]

I was sure my card is not supported by radeon driver :)

But I works, and I don't see any black rectangles for 30 minutes.

If they appear, I'll post about it.

How can I help to investigate the bug in radeonhd driver? (I'm not satisfied with radeon 2D performance)

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

If you want to help out, please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop (xorg, Driver/Radeonhd). Thanks.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

there is no -radeonhd in the archive anymore, closing the bugs.

[Arseny Klimovsky (arseny.klimovsky)]

In Ubuntu 11.04 I definitely have no problems with video card
