Description:
Since the update of xf86-video-ati, several users have been experiencing artifacts / screen garbling when ColorTiling is enabled. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113015 The attached patch fixes the issue (see upstream bug report). It would be nice if this could be packaged (see attached PKGBUILD), though not a necessity. Upstream bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33929 Additional info: * xf86-video-ati 6.14.0-1 * xorg-server 1.9.4-1 Steps to reproduce: Upgrade to these package versions and restart X. Make sure ColorTiling isn't disabled in X configuration. If I start scrotwm, it immediately occurs. In awesomewm I've noticed that it starts when I start urxvt or xterm. There are some other upstream reported steps to reproduce. |

There's 2 fixes available - to disable tiling and the patch for xorg-server. So far I prefer to to leave this up to the users to fix it in one way. I'll apply a patch when it will be pushed to Xorg-server master or 1.9.x branch. So far the patch might break other stuff so I prefer to delay it.
