Thanks, that seems to do the job. I downloaded 6.13.1-1 from unstable and now 
I can again use 16 BPP without the greenish tint. Further, if I deactivate KMS 
(modprobe radeon modeset=0), X also initialises DRI (even though it complains 
about this and that) and bug 587999 doesn't appear, so it's indeed only the 
non-DRI code it seems.

Just for the record, I had the effect that areas were not recognized as newly 
exposed with EXA and the new radeon driver, though only with a KDE app. 
Switching back to XAA seems to work around that. I'll try to reproduce this 
and file a separate report if I get to it.


Thank you for your help, I owe you a beer!
