Description Philippe Leblanc 2008-11-09 23:42:49 UTC
Ever so often when I resume from suspend with my laptop, my background appears all corrupted.  The rest of the desktop looks fine and functions fine.  A simple restart of X or even simply switching the background and then switching back fixes the problem.  I noticed this happening when I enabled the native metacity composite manager in order to use the avant-window-navigator.  One of the quirks is that I don't know exactly how to consistently reproduce the problem.  Roughly 2 out of 3 resume from suspend results in the background looking just fine.  The rest of the time it is garbled.  Other useful information is that I use gnome 2.22 as well as the nvidia driver version 173.14.09 and kernel 2.6.25.  I don't know if this is an nvidia problem, a metacity problem or a avant-navigator problem or something entirely seperate.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Initiate suspend-to-ram.
2.Resume from suspend.
3.See garbled/corrupted background

Actual Results:  
Computer resumed just find with uncorrupted background

Expected Results:  
Since the problem is intermittent, I excepted the results to go either way.  I wonder if the problem is more likely to occur after leaving the computer in suspended mode for a longer period of time (like 30 minutes or longer)

As mentioned in the above summary, I am running gnome 2.22, nvidia drivers 173.14.09 as well as avant-window-navigator 0.2.6-r1 all running on the gentoo-sources 2.6.25-r7.

this is a Xorg, driver or kernel issue. Forwarding to X11

yummy, nvidia driver.

Not much we can do here. Try with nv or vesa since you're using an xrender-based compositor.

Thanks
