Known Issues

TV Display is Corrupt After Switching Resolutions. Topic number 737-1086
Attempting to resume from system suspension results in the system failing to respond. Topic number 737-218
Enabling Quad Buffer Stereo results in 2D graphics corruption under XFree86. Topic number 737-219
Running two X servers simultaneously results in the system failing to respond. Topic number 737-220
Currently, stereo support is only available on the FireGL X1 and Z1. Topic number. Topic number 737-18922

TV Display is Corrupt After Switching Resolutions

This information applies to the following system configurations:

ATI Proprietary Linux Driver 3.7.1 and later
TV Out enabled in fglrxconfig
Big Desktop or Dual Head monitor layout is used

This issue does not occur in Clone Mode or when the TV is the only connected display.

Upon using the resolution keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-alt-+) or (ctrl-alt--) to switch resolution of the XFree86 Desktop, the display will be off center or completely corrupt.

The TV display is not usable in this state and it is not possible to get back to a stable resolution once this has happened. A restart is required.

As usual, we have a voting thread and a discussion thread (thanks to EcPerry for the heads up and both threads) for you here at DriverHeaven. Feel free to discuss and ask for support in out friendly ATI Linux Forum
