Bug#589346: xorg: Graphical acceleration only available to one X user



Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.5+6
Severity: normal

Some types of acceleration are not availabe to the second simultaneous log-in on the machine. I only say some types,
because some things work fast, others slow:
Fast:
-window resizing (both kwin and metacity)
-Opera animations, drawing, javascript
-KDE Plasma animations
-video seems to work decently.

Slow:
-window moving (both kwin and metacity)
-scrolling (Dolphin, Opera)
-3d is much slower (TORCS: 5-15 fps on the first login, 0-1 fps on the second)

Additionaly, Kwin compositing cannot be enabled on the second login, only on the first. Please ask for any
information I failed to provide.

Reproduce:
-login to an desktop session
-start a new desktop session without closing the first one, and notice the problems with this session.

Video driver:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-1

This situation has been the same for a long time in Debian Unstable (more than a year), regardless of drm, mesa, kde version, xorg version.
