You should git bisect the breaking commit and file an upstream report. It's not a packaging bug.

I have no idea how to git bisect, but I'll say for anyone coming across this bug that it only seems to happen on r300g and not r600 (I have the same set of software on two computers with different cards...). Furthermore it's most apparent on the r300g when calling wine.

As of now I don't see any commits after the 6.14 tag that indicate a fix for this.

To solve, for now, I *only* downgraded xf86-video-ati. Hopefully I won't need to do xorg/mesa/dri packages along with it.

Ok, so learning git bisect was quite easy. The culprit was the very last commit before 6.14.0 =P.

The upstream bug I've filed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34157

I have the same problem with this driver

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33929 is now the real bug for this bug report. The previous BR is marked as duplicate.

There is also a patch available on this BR.
Comment by Thomas Wouters (twouters) - Friday, 25 February 2011, 12:20 GMT
The patch has been committed to upstream git.
Could this one be included in the xorg-server package?

This is fixed in xorg-server, so updating the xorg-server package to 1.10 should fix the issue.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Saturday, 04 June 2011, 22:40 GMT
state? there's new xorg-server in testing and also a new ati driver.
