Bug Description
I experience drawing errors and even hangups with the current ati driver (neither fglrx nor radeonhd)
Situation:
* Start gnome with desktop effects turned on
* Start any opengl application (tested: glxgears, celestia, ufo::AI)
Actual results:
* After moving the opengl-Window, the last content of the window can be seen on the old place (the space is not redrawn?) This error only appears with enabled desktop effects.
* when using gtk-menu items in the opengl window (like when trying to use File->Open), the menus flicker since they are overdrawn by the opengl application
* System freezes after a random interval (like 10-30 minutes), Magic sysrq still responds, sometimes the mouse is still movable, but nothing else works.
System configuration:
Ubuntu jaunty (so I don't complain *g*) with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 graphics card
xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "ati"
Option "DRI"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "AccelDFS"
Option "DynamicClocks" "true" # Optional, Strom sparen

I don't know how to report better information, since there is no crash report in /var/crash You're welcome to ask me to give you more, given instructions how to obtain it.
Hi laucky,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
