--- Comment #33 from tuxoholic@hotmail.de --- Hello Christian
It took me a while to regather my bugzilla login info, so I'm not sure whether you pushed this fix into kernel-git already or still are awaiting feedback, anyway ... I'm quoting my testing results I wrote in the debian bugtracker (#770790):
That small patch in attachment #163891 does indeed fix the screen flickering for me.
I built three versions of radeon.ko against 3.16.7-ckt2 from debian/testing:
1) vanilla version: reproducible flickering, it's even easier to reproduce by quickly dragging a medium sized window around in circles 2) superseded version: (attachment #159331): no flickering, might contain a typo on line 1002, but I did not fix that one and it ran flawless for days 3) current version: (#attachment 163891): no flickering
So to sum up: this small fix in #163891 is a blessing, I vote for pushing this if it hasn't happened already.
