Hi
Same hardware here :
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
Same issues :
- 1px white line at the botton of the screen as soon as the module is loaded
- tinted transluency is pink (when effects/composite are enabled on KDE)
But I also noticed this additional issue :
- When i disable effects in KDE, the title bar & border of the windows is
missing, or corrupted, and not refreshed (see screenshot with konsole). Should
I file another bug for this one ?
I noticed that whenever I disable KMS none of the three issues stated above
appear.
That's the way I disabled radeon KMS:
- comment out the following line of /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
options radeon modeset=1
- add one of these parameter to the kernel boot options (in grub)
radeon.modeset=0
or
nomodeset
xserver-xorg-video-radeon v 1:6.13.1-2
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 v 2.6.32-21
firmware-linux v 0.26
Best regards
Fabien
