A screen shot of mathematica gone haywire
This could well be a composite issue - we now enable that by default in the X server. Could you try running mathematica with the environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS set to 1? E.g. from a command line: $ XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 mathematica That environment variable makes it work just fine. Unfortunately that means it's a bug in Mathematica. It's getting confused by the presence of the extra Composite visual, which is what gets used for per-pixel alpha. Please report this bug to Wolfram. The environment variable given above is safe to set on all versions of X, it will simply have no effect on older Xlib or when the server doesn't support the Composite extension. They should at a minimum add this to their wrapper script (if any), or better yet fix their code to select only the visuals they really want. |
