Fedora xen - Feb 2006 - minor Xorg screen corruption on radeon under xen dom0

I''m pleased to see xen for x86_64 recently :-)

Under rawhide kernel 1955 with just a dom0 running I often see minor 
xorg screen corruption, usually showing as a series of solid/dashed red 
lines running across most of the top gnome-panel, this didn''t happen 
when booted without xen. also if the machien was left for half a day or 
so it wouldn''t wake ut of screen saver and needed CTRL-ALT-BKSP to 
kill/restart xorg.

I''ve upgraded to kernel 1977 today and not seen it so far, and will 
bugzilla it if it happens again, just a quick "anyone else seen this" 
for now?

I presume that any issue like this should be reported against xen not 
against xorg-drv-ati?

  Ohh, I''m getting this too, but I was thinking it was due to my
extremely
old ATI card 3D Rage Pro 215GP having driver troubles.

  I saw this with kernel 2.6.15-1.1975_FC5hypervisor too.

  yes please, I need to check if this happens with a more recent kernel.

Though I''m still seeing (and have reported) the red line glitches,
I''m
pleased to say the X locking up hasn''t happened on a machine
that''s been
up for 2 whole days (which is relatively speaking a long up time while 
keeping updated with rawhide)
