Description Jean Delvare 2008-10-01 10:35:04 UTC 
When running KDE 4 (4.1.1 from Factory, as KDE 4.0 from openSUSE 11.0 was too broken), /var/log/Xorg.0.log gets filled with the following message over and over again:

(**) RADEON(0): RADEONSaveScreen(2)

The fill rate varies a lot depending on what I do, and can go up to 20/minute or so.

Running IceWM on the same system with the same applications running, doesn't fill the log that way, so I guess this is a side effect of something KDE 4 does. I wonder what this can be though, as I have all desktop effects disabled, and no resizing applet loaded. While I don't really care about that log file, I am still reporting this because I also tend to think that KDE 4 is slow on my system (compared to KDE 3 I had before) and maybe this message repeating in the logs is another symptom of the same problem.

Please let me know if I can help investigating this.
