Whenever I enable to AGP rendering in the radeon driver with agpmode=4, then the image displayed on the monitor is corrupted with some garbage (See attached image) Running over the garbage with the pointer clears temporally the garbage, and then reappears Of course, if I use agpmode=-1 the problem and the garbage disappear, but the laptop is also much slower since all graphical processing is done by the (old) CPU. I tried every possible radeon driver parameter, or combinations thereof but without any lack to circumvent this problem. I don't thing it is a matter of monitor because I also used and new external monitor and it still happens. Do you know if there is any way to avoid this artifact on the video output and maintain the AGP enabled? See below some of the technical characteristics of the laptop in case it is of any help.
