Subject: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Monitor flickers
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Severity: important

I have an ATI Radeon 9200 with DVI and VGA outputs.  Connected to the DVI, I
have a Samsung SyncMaster 204T.

When xterms scroll rapidly I notice flickering.  In a browser, sometimes
changing tabs causes it to blank out noticably (duration say .5 seconds).
Running gears from xscreensaver-gl with -delay 0 causes the monitor to blank
entirely.  Moving some windows around (depends on content) will cause
flickers or jitters.

I upgraded from Xorg 6.9 (I believe this was a pre 7.0 release) which was
mostly OK.  Now that I've upgraded to the latest in sid, the problems are
back.

I'm reporting this against the video package as it contains the drivers for
my card.

Here's my device section from /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "AGPMode" "6"
        Option          "DisplayPriority" "BIOS"
EndSection

If more info is required, I'll provide.

Ok, good to know, and thanks for the details. I am closing this bug for
now then.
If anybody ever reproduces, feel free to reopen.
