Description of problem: With the free driver, I get some random small-ish corruption in some Qt widgets and Spotify (under Wine), which while unrelated, is also showing currupted graphics in its titlebar and is missing many of the widgets on this computer. The most certain way to reproduce this corruption is to select Plastique as the style in Qt (The Arora browser overrides Oxygen with Plastique due to some problems with the Oxygen style) and write something in a text field. I'll add a screenshot that shows what it looks like in Arora. The bug can also be reproduced in programs besides Arora if the Plastique style is selected globally. The bug doesn't appear on computers with different graphics hardware, like my laptop with an old Radeon 7500. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-11.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always on this computer. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into KDE on a computer with Fedora 11 and R600-based video hardware. 2. Open Arora or some other program that uses the Plastique Qt style. 3. Write something to a text field somewhere. Actual results: The text field is filled with black garbage. Expected results: Only usual well-drawn letters appear in the text field.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Probably a more specific way to reproduce: 1. Install Qt 4 and arora. 2. Use qtconfig-qt4 to set the qt program style to Cleanlooks. Save settings, 3. arora google.com 4. Write something to the search text field. On my machine, this always results in the search field contents being drawn over with a black block of pixels.
Section "Device" Identifier "primary graphics card" Driver "radeon" Option "RenderAccel" "off" EndSection I tried to use that xorg.conf to turn EXA off. Even with these settings, the corruption persists. Am I doing something wrong, or should I file a bug against the driver for not respecting the setting? I'll post the Xorg.0.log shortly as an attachment.

I see the same corruption on my X1650. This bug sounds very similar, on an Intel chipset: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/338477 Sure seems like a KDE or Qt bug to me.
