Hello Jerome, Once again, thanks a lot for your help. Some progress but also a setback: Upgrading to the latest xf86-video-ati git gets rid of the stream command failures - No more error messages in dmesg(8). But then, now, rendering is completely messed up. Previously, it was mostly the window boundaries that were blurred/messed but now also entire windows and text so that you can't read anything from the desktop. (For example, the previous render problems would still allow me to use gnome-terminal even though its frames were completely blurred. Now the text withing gnome-terminal is also blurred/smudged) Do you recommend that I also try to upgrade Mesa? (I have to solve a gl-proto library dependency before I can do that.) Or perhaps rebuild Compiz itself against the new libdrm and xf86-video-ati?
