Description Martin Burchell 2009-02-15 18:31:56 UTC
Created attachment 331981 [details]
Screenshot of xterm with artefacts

Description of problem:
I enabled AccelMethod XAA to fix other bugs with this driver (484299 and other performance-related ones). However under some window managers (Window Maker and twm), some windows (eg xterm, xemacs) are not drawn correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-3.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add AccelMethod XAA to configuration
2.Start X with one of the affected window managers
3.Open two xterms
4.Drag one xterm over the other
  
Actual results:
The window on top is redrawn with artefacts visible around the edge.

Expected results:
Window redrawn correctly with no artefacts.

Additional info:
Doesn't seem to be a problem with some applications, eg Firefox

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 03:33:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 17:46:55 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 5 Martin Burchell 2009-10-06 22:31:55 UTC
Still present in Fedora 10

Comment 6 Vedran Miletić 2009-11-05 23:12:20 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, including Intel driver, which may have resolved this issue.
To be more precise, Intel has undergone a major rewrite during Fedora 10, 11 and 12 cycles, and whole driver is working a lot better now. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to retry with at least Fedora 12 Beta and see if the issue is still relevant.

Please, if you experience this problem on Fedora 12 Beta or up-to-date system running Rawhide, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

We hope to see how many older bugs in Intel driver are still relevant today, in hope that most of them were fixed in rewrite process.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora 10 i810-related bugs (39 of them are still open). I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 7 Martin Burchell 2009-11-07 10:38:31 UTC
Do you mean to say that even if this bug is still present in Fedora 10, it will still be closed?  That sounds wrong to me.  I thought Fedora 10 was still a supported release.

Thank you for your bug report.

We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is will soon stop longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora. There were so many changes between Fedora 10 and Fedora 12 in Intel driver and X.Org that it's very likely that this bug is fixed. This bug will be set to CLOSED:WONTFIX to reflect this, but please reopen it if the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora (version 12), which is available from:
