|
|
Hello together!
Since a world update I have strange graphic problems like these under X Windows.
Not only with images but also with some GUI elements like menus (for example the firefox-bin menus are fine but the KDE-menus are shredded).
What I've done:
Code: | eselect profile set 5 # [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde *
emerge --sync # about 3 days ago
emerge -auvDN
dispatch-conf
emerge @preserved-rebuild
|
My USE-variable in make.conf :
USE="apm crypt csope ctype cups gimp gmp gnuplot icq jack jpeg2k \
mmx mpi mplayer netcdf plasma posix samba scanner semantic-desktop \
sharedmem smp sse sse2 sse3 sse4 rtmp theora threads udisks upower xinerama symlink"
Here is my emerge environment and here my package.use .
All packages could be installed without problems.
My graphics unit is on the CPU (Pentium B950) - lspci prints:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)[/code]
Does anyone of you have an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks for any help!
PS:
If I run a 'vncserver' (Xvnc) on the system and connect to it (by vncviewer) then there are no graphic problems.
So maybe the problem has to do with X (from xorg)?
Code: | X -version
X.Org X Server 1.13.4
Release Date: 2013-04-17
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 3.10.7-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo
Current Operating System: Linux consystor7 3.0.6-gentoo #5 SMP Thu Dec 29 12:53:08 CET 2011 x86_64
Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3 vga=0x317
Build Date: 12 September 2013 01:40:43AM
Current version of pixman: 0.28.0
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version. |

Hello!
I've played around with the xorg stuff and now I know that it's the xf86-video-intel driver.
I get the shredded graphics with xf86-video-intel
* 2.20.13 (default) and
* 2.99.901 (newest)
But with xf86-video-intel-2.19.0 and xorg-server-1.12.4-r4 (because the intel driver doesn't compile with newer available xorg-servers) I got no shredded graphics so far...
BTW: Between the masks in package.use I made an
emerge -av @x11-module-rebuild
Should I report this the xorg guys?
Best regards!
PS:
It seems that the problem still occurs - it's only not that bad.
So what can I do? There's no older available intel video driver... |

Hello again!
I've seen that the artefacts are always and only on the title bars of the windows.
So I've played around with the KDE settings and set
Desctop Effects -> Advanced -> Compositing type
from OpenGL to XRender .
Now I've no more artefacts.
EDIT:
I think the first very bad artefacts which disappeared with the older intel video driver have nothing to do with the smaller artefacts under KDE because they also appeared in twm... |
