Just thought I would post a little update, I am in the process of getting my system to use the new kernel. Ive already compiled it with the patch and stuff, i am just having a bit of trouble creating a ramdisk (I am followeing the arch linux wiki) although I will figure it out. Will the fixes from comment 19 and 20 be implemented into the next release of video-ati or does it still need testing? I am asking this so that if I know it isn't I may as well compile another kernel with the patches from 19 and 20. Thank you btw for everything.

FWIW, using make install in your kernel tree will usually handle the ramdisk update, but I'm not that familiar with arch, so if you are comfortable with that, I'd stick with that.

As for the patches from 19 and 20, I'm pretty confident they will work, but it would be nice to get some confirmation.

Alright so I tried out the kernel I compiled with the patch from comment 15 on the other bug report, and either I didn't install the patch correctly (or it didnt install correctly) or the patch is not solving the problem. I am still getting the flickering/artifacts. I have attached an xorg log and dmesg log and added comment15_patch to each of their file names so they are easily distinguishable. Should I be compiling another kernel with the patches from comment 19 and 20?
