Description Bojan Smojver 2010-03-12 00:02:57 UTC
Description of problem:
With compiz enabled, Intel driver is leaving artefacts on the screen. Also, windows do not get refreshed until they get scrolled or similar. This is with F-13 alpha with updates up until 11 Mar 2010.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.10.0-4.fc13

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot F-13 alpha.
2. Switch to compiz.
3. Open Gnome terminal. Observe artefacts when typing in commands. Oopen FF. Observe that new pages are occasionally not refreshed when loaded, until some scrolling is applied.
  
Actual results:
Artefacts on screen. Problems with refresh.

Expected results:
This works fine in F-12 without KMS (I'm not using KMS with F-12 due to hibernate/thaw problems). With F-13, no KMS is not an option, so I cannot see if that would help.

Can we get an Xorg.0.log? Thanks. Can you confirm it's OK with compiz disabled?

I'll check without compiz. When I initially installed, I haven't noticed any artefacts, but I didn't check in detail.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 570517 ***

Comment 6 Evgeny F 2010-04-03 14:42:48 UTC
This does not seem as bug 570517 at all. There is no mention of corruption (or screen freeze) in Xorg.0.log, however the symptoms are there. (no screen refresh)

Comment 7 trevik 2010-04-06 21:09:37 UTC
The bug probably is not a duplicate of bug 570517 - the behaviour is different -  screen is simply corrupted because of lack of proper refresh. Hibernation / resume results in crash (I think it is GPU - driver - KMS combo regression).
Without compiz (with metacity) the screen for 2d apps seems to refresh fine.

The error message is the same, and both happen when switching to 3D mode (either through Desktop Effects, or by using compiz).

Given the amount of open bugs we have against this component and given this bug doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table, so I am keeping it closed. I am very open to be persuaded otherwise.

Comment 9 Bojan Smojver 2010-04-07 12:17:26 UTC
Don't particularly care which bugs stay open or closed. One thing is for sure - the state of the Intel driver is pretty sad.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

Comment 11 Nikolay Vladimirov 2010-04-14 13:15:56 UTC
Just note that I'm getting the same behavior on intel 4500MHD on thinkpad r500. So it's a somewhat common bug. With desktop effects disabled everything works fine.

Comment 12 Rodrigo Ayala 2010-04-15 01:51:33 UTC
I have the same problem... my videocard is an Intel 945GM, and I'm running Fedora 13 Beta, with all the updates... it's seems that is a problem of refresh...
This doesn't happens in Fedora 12...

Comment 13 Adam Drew 2010-05-14 19:14:21 UTC
Having the same issues on a 4500MHD. Objects on screen don't update correctly. Works fine in Ubuntu 10.04

Comment 14 Nikolay Vladimirov 2010-05-14 23:04:29 UTC
Actually, I can no longer reproduce this on 4500MHD. I can't say for how long it was fixed since I haven't tried compiz in almost a month. 
I'm using latest F-13 updates-testing as of today( May 14, xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-4.fc13.x86_64 ).

Comment 15 trevik 2010-05-18 13:10:58 UTC
It seems that the bug is away with my configuration. F-13 is updated, driver 
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-4.fc13.i686
auch bug 570517 disappeared (suspend resume works as expected).
