Hi,

I am trying to setup X.org using the proprietary ATI drivers. The X.org radeon driver works fine, no problem there. Since I would like to deploy the machine as HTPC, I would like to use the proprietary drivers which should allow for full control of my Sapphire Radeon 9250.

Using the fglrx driver I get the following font corruption - notice that vertical lines in fonts are corrupted. The problem disappers upon doing some change - e.g. selecting the text, and appears again after e.g. scrolling (in mozilla)

The "radeon" driver does not produce this problem.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

I used to experience this problem as well, but I haven't recently. Try upgrading to the latest version of ati-drivers (8.28.8 is the latest in portage).

You might need to add the following line to /etc/portage/package.keyword
Code:
x11-drivers/ati-drivers

Did you find any solution, yet?

I have the same problem ever since updating to modular X.org and couldn't solve it, no matter which drivers I tried.

Just for the info, card is a Radeon 9600 running on an MSI board with VIA-Chipset and x86-architecture(I'll post some relevant configs later, time for bed now...)

cheers,
ph
