Hi,
I'm experiencing a major rendering corruption with linux 3.8 and my HD 6870.
software: latest kernel from linus as of 2013-08-01 latest mesa git as of 2013-08-01 latest llvm from tstellar git as of 2013-08-01 latest DDX from git as of 2013-08-01 libdrm 2.4.40
Symptoms:
I triggered this several times running Heroes of Newerth. When a match starts, sometimes The textures are all black, or sometimes my cursor is missing. (It looks like my LLVM-enabled for the glsl compiler builds of mesa trigger the black textures more often)
When this happens, quitting the game and returning to my desktop, everything is garbled, things do not refresh correctly. See screenshot.
keeping the same userland and just downgrading to linux 3.7 solves everything.
Nothing gets added to dmesg...
I don't have much time for bisecting this, I'll try asap but it won't be before some days, so if someone has similar hardware, please try to reproduce it. HoN is free to play and natively runs on linux. (http://www.heroesofnewerth.com)
