This randomly occurred while using my desktop casually (browsing the internet) with seemingly no impact on stability. Nothing out of the ordinary was reported to the system log, Xorg.0.log, or .xsession-errors. Initially it started when loading a page in firefox and a few pixmaps on the page as well as icons on my panel were corrupted. Then I tried reloading compiz and most of the pixmaps were affected. I tried restarting X but the problem persisted. I also restarted xdm (/etc/init.d/xdm restart) but still everything had this green tinge. Rebooting fixed the problem and I haven't experienced it again. A little background on my system: I'm using the 2.6.24-gentoo-r1 kernel, git radeon driver (built 2 days ago), git mesa, git mesa/drm, git compiz, and masked branches on the gentoo portage tree (~amd64). I'm running a Gigabyte X800 XT PE and using EXA acceleration (very successfully, I might add) Attached is a screenshot of the problem as it got worse.

It'll be hard to do anything about this without a way to reproduce... at the very least though, attach the full xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log before reopening.

Created attachment 15509 [details] fresh xorg log
Created attachment 15510 [details] xorg conf
I will work on trying to find a reliable way to reproduce this bug.
If you can reproduce again, please try without Options "AGPMode", "AGPFastWrite" and "AccelDFS".
A user in the #radeon IRC channel has reported a strikingly similar issue. He is using a Lenovo T60p (type 8714-J3G) Screenshots, his Xorg log, and xorg.conf can be found here: http://yamato.hyte.de/tmp/xorg/
(In reply to comment #8) > http://yamato.hyte.de/tmp/xorg/ He's using depth 16, does he get the same problem at 24?
Closing for inactivity, please reopen if you still have this issue with recent xf86-video-ati driver.
