Created attachment 293661 [details] screenshot x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0 causes screen corruption, as in attached screenshot. To reproduce: 1. Start an xterm 2. Resize it vertically using the mouse After downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.16.0 the problem disappeared.

Does that happen with both sna enabled and disabled?
(In reply to comment #2) > Does that happen with both sna enabled and disabled? 2.17.0 with USE="-sna" seems to behave well, on first glance.
What kernel/mesa-versions do you use? I am running mesa-7.11.1 and gentoo-sources-3.1.1, xf86-video-intel-2.17.0 with sna enabled (I even use intel RC6). Everything runs fine, fast, without corruption (OK, KDE-Menus and Popups with just one row only show a blurred rect, but that is a bespin-bug, as QtCurve etc work just fine). And of course: Do you run Sandy Bridge Graphics? Older iGPUs seem to have regressions (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_sna_old&num=1 - but I don't know if that still is true, as the article dates back to early september)

You could check if there is still corruption with xf86-video-intel from git (a live ebuild is in the x11 overlay) and if yes, report upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

And to answer your question: Yes, with the current HEAD there is still corruption.
Fixed upstream: <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=16f5e224dcfd97012b38ee1af6c72dbe3c0f3304> This could be applied as a patch to 2.17.0 too.
Fixed in 2.17.0-r1
Seems that the patch is not being applied. Missing PATCHES= in ebuild?
Whoops. Now really fixed in -r2.
(In reply to comment #12) > Now really fixed in -r2. Thanks, that works fine. Closing.
