[Bug 444139] Re: (Needs KMS) Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500)

 

Putting simply:

 Option "AGPSize" "32"

as suggested by Tormod doesn't work for me.
gnome-appeareance-properties refuses to switch desktop effects on.

If I add:
Option "BusType" "PCI"
desktop effects can be enabled but gdm is unstable: the screen gets all black if I open a few firefox windows.

Increasing AGPSize to 64 works but I get a kernel panic few minutes
after logon if I open several windows.

To have a stable system I have to put all the options below in the
Device section:

Section "Device"
        Driver "ati"
        Identifier "Radeon 9200"
        Option "BusType" "PCI"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
        Option "AGPSize" "64"
EndSection
