Hi, I have this bug since version 8.47.

Anytime that I scroll over something, my screen get weird as you can see : http://www.gentoo-quebec.org/index/Config_Sylvain/bug.png

Does anyone knows how to resolve this weird problem ?

I don't have this problem when I use the Vesa Driver.

Here's my xorg.conf

Code:

I suspect something : each time that I update my kernel, the problem is gone because I recompile the driver only after my first reboot.

I want to use the fglrx driver, because as you can see, I have a T60P and I use the native resolution : 1680x1024

So, is there a way to use the fglrx only and 2D, because the driver doesn't bug after a kernel upgrade ????

Code:
 Option "TexturedXrender" "on"


Comment that option. It is experimental and known to fail in many cases. In my laptop it caused a psychodelic screen, far worse than what you have there ;).
