xorg 6.8.2-1.EL.13.33 On the RX2600 (an ia64 machine), after the initial installation, all the uses of X show garbled display. The problem looks similar to bug 182471, but only testing with the certified machine would allow to verify that it's the same issue. Xorg recognises the card as a "RV100 QY/Radeon 7000/VE". The same card running in an x86 machine doesn't show any display problems.

I forgot to mention that adding the "Option XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" line in the xorg.conf corrected the problem.
Is it possible for someone to test whether the packages in /mnt/redhat/brewroot/packages/xorg-x11/6.8.2/1.EL.13.41 fix this problem? Thanks
Any update?
XAANoOffscreenPixmaps is turned on for __ia64__ in xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.44
The original reported says: "No, the newer xorg-x11 packages built (on an RHEL4u4 everything-install) do not help."
Note that the package doesn't change anything in the xorg.conf file. It simply changes the default setting of the XAANoOffScreenPixmaps from FALSE to TRUE on IA64 internally in the X server.
Yes, the change should be in 13.44. Can you ask them to explicitly put Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "yes" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf and see if that helps?
Nevermind that. The patch I applied was wrong. I'll fix this in 13.46. Sorry about that.
13.46 is being built now.
I was defeated by the Xorg config API. Not only should 13.48 fix it, it will also print useful information about it in the log file. So if 13.48 doesn't work, please also attach the generated log file (but I really think it should work this time).
Moving to 4.6. "ugliness is seen" isn't really descriptive enough to know what the problem is. Getting a hardware setup where we can reproduce this somewhere near me would be helpful, but at a minimum we need to know what the failure mode actually is.
