Comment 6 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-09-06 17:21:35 EDT

For the record: The hardware (as Xorg.0.log shows) is a

ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600 Series] rev 0

Comment 7 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-19 03:37:23 EDT

Same effect on RV770 (Radeon HD 4850) with xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-3.9.20080917git.fc9

Comment 8 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2008-10-29 07:01:30 EDT

For the record, I've rebuild the current rawhide srpm (xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.3-1.2.20081014git.fc10) and the problem disappeared.

Comment 9 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-11-29 06:51:46 EST

Thanks.

Then I'll consider this fixed.
