Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-08 13:13:16 UTC
I'm working on trying to fix some bugs in the chips driver right now
due to the XFree86 driver having some breakage that has been reported.

Unfortunately I don't have any chips hardware, so I need someone who does
have it to do some tests for me so I can fix it.  I also need to see
a screenshot of this corruption if possible.  So first step, is to make
a screenshot and attach it to the bug report using the link below, as
well as your X config file and log file.  I also need the output of
"lspci -vvn" for debugging.

Next step, is to try different troubleshooting tests:

First test, in your XF86Config, put in the Device section:
     Option "noaccel"

If that makes the problem go away, then we know it is a 2D acceleration
bug (most likely).

Next test is to find out exactly what is broken.  To do that, I need you
to read the "man XF86Config" manual, and look for the various "XaaNo....."
options.  Remove the above "noaccel" option from the config file, and try
_one_ of the XaaNo options.  After adding one of them, start the X server
and test to see if the corruption is gone.  If the corruption persists,
quit X, comment out or remove the XaaNo option, and replace it with
another XaaNo option.  Continue through the list until you've tried
every option.  If any one option solves the problem, indicate what option
it is to me, and please attach a new X config file and log from the
server ran with this XaaNo option being used.

If noaccel worked, but no one single option solves the problem for you,
try using multiple XaaNo options, and try to narrow it down.  If you
can narrow it down to one or two options, then I can probably fix the
driver.

Thanks.
