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
Please get back to us. Thanks
