Description lenzenmi 2011-03-06 18:19:04 UTC

Recently upgraded xf86-video-ati from version 6.13.2-1-i686 to version 6.14.0-1-i686 in arch linux.

when I open xterm, aterm, or eterm my x environment becomes scrambled and I can not make anything out.  X does not freeze, and no errors are reported in the log files or the tty display.  This problem occured using both fluxbox and gnome.  Downgrading back to version 6.13.2-1.i686 solved the problem.

My video card is detected as:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R480 [Radeon X850Pro] using lspci.

Sounds like a duplicate of bug 33929.

Yes, I'd say it is a duplicate, sorry.  Option "ColorTiling" "Off" fixed the problem for me.
