Bug#545569: video-radeon: Re: minor graphics tearing and noise

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:6.12.3+git20091004
Severity: normal
File: video-radeon


With the current version the noise around cursor seem gone.

The occasional picture tearing remains. It seems that it appears only on
one display at a time (until X restart/suspend).
