The symptoms you describe would be very unusual with the DRI disabled.

Please try current xf86-video-ati git. Also note that Debian #366114 actually refers to this, and indeed it's probably a better match for you, as it's also about an RV100 derivative. For those interested in #354221, the same suggestions (disable the DRI or try xf86-video-ati git) are still valid, as the same problem happened to affect both RV100 and R300 derivatives. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
