Again although it says Xpress 200M my card is X1100

Stefan, can you look at the bug?

Seems like a VT restoration issue.

Adam, it is a tall order to go and fix an inherently unstable driver like the radeon one, especially for 11.0. 11.1 is out soon, can you upgrade to that and see whether the problem still exists there?

We can then look into trying a more recent radeon driver pull from upstream and then file a bug upstream.

I didn't think this would be easy to fix anyways, and I was wanting to upgrade to 11.1 once it went final so I can do that here I am mostly waiting for media codics from Packman to be ported to 11.1 before I upgrade.  If this can wait the 6 or so days then that would be great, other wise then I can move my repos over to 11.1 and do an upgrade now.

This can wait np, remove needinfo once you have tested 11.1. Thanks.

I have upgraded to 11.1 and I don't think that it is using the Radeon driver anymore, according to the sysinfo KIO I am using Mesa Project Software Rasterizer 2.1 Mesa 7.2.  How can I be sure what driver the system is using, I am almost tempted to let SaX2 rerun so it can re-detect my card.

More on topic I have still noticed this happening with my system some.

You are running the radeon driver, all right, but:
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

I don't know why, though, the driver is not very communicative.

Best try 'sax2 -r' before doing anything else, if the issue hasn't become moot in the meantime. Does this help? If no, please attach the created xorg.conf, and the logfile of a 'X -logverbose 7'.

Adam?

I'm afraid Adam gave up meanwhile (which I can understand given the time we needed to respond to his report). Adam, if I'm wrong and you're still available
for testing, please reopen to provide new feedback requested by Matthias. Thanks.

Sorry for the long time, the computer that is affected by this bug had a hard drive failure, after a reinstall and all updates have been applied if this problem still exists I shall reopen.

x.org config after  clean install

It seems to still be happening, this time I was able to reproduce it when adjusting the dual head for an external monitor but leaving main screen resolution the same.  I don't know if it is because my ATI Radeon x1100 is showing up as a Xpress 200 card.

This *could* be a duplicate of bug 547106. Can you please test the xorg-x11-driver-video package as described in that bug?

After more than 3 weeks closing as NORESPONSE to trigger feedbback. :-(
