 Replying to [comment:36 jg]:

 A temporary patch was already in the amd driver we've been shipping since
 502.

 A better fix is already in f.d.o's git:
  http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-
 amd.git;a=commitdiff;h=a6192811e21c9f8d17b409018f945adc2eea3594

 Supposedly, it depends on this xserver enhancement by ajax:
 http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=486fd4145aed93093d1f1655de40c0a8582bb8b1

 but, on first glance, it seems to me that the old xserver code would
 work anyway because it implicitly synchronizes.

 Therefore, the extra synchronization in the amd driver is never needed
 (both on 1.3 and 1.4), and can be ditched for good.  Jordan, what do you
 think?
