_Both the YDL installed 4.2 binaries and the patched 4_2-branch with DRI
 enabled, the kdm login window is nearly unreadable. The subwindow
 background has a cross-hatch, same as startup stipple, that blends with
 the prompt and input field. Will sometimes clearup after a few VT
switches or X restarts. Does not occur with DRI disabled or at all with 4.2.99.

If this only happens on server reset,
http://www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86-4.2/patches/r128-indirectBuffer.diff should help. This is also on the CVS trunk already, and the radeon driver has been fixed even better in DRI CVS.

Thanks, that patch fixes the problem.

And, forcing PCI mode allows concurrent DRI and Xv. I've had my system
loaded up continuusly to 99+% with makes, ping floods, Xv xine, and
DRI enabled glxgears for an hour, and could still startup Mozilla and
compose this.
