After upgrade from 2.1.1 to x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1, I noticed that after a console switch out of and then back into X11, the screen was corrupted in an unusual animated manner, a problem which wouldn't go away simply by getting the applications to redraw, but instead requiring a restart of X11. The problem would also occur if I put my system to sleep, upon wake-up I would see the same issues. Eventually I noticed the problem didn't exist if I deleted my xorg.conf, and from there I narowed the problem down to the virtual size in the xorg.conf being set to a width greater than 1664. Widths 1664 or less seem to work just fine, widths 1665 or greater seem to cause this problem. The virtual screen height seems to be irrelevant. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1 2. use "Virtual 1920 1080" in xorg.conf 3. start X11, switch to a different console, then switch back to X11 Actual Results: Animated screen corruption, mostly affecting the bottom & bottom-right of the screen, consisting of black lines and lines of pixels which belong elsewhere on the screen, much of which flickers on and off, and which remains even when new windows are placed in this area of the screen. Expected Results: It should have looked just like it did before I switched consoles.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Here are a couple suggestions : - please update to the latest ~arch versions of gentoo-sources, libdrm and xf86-video-intel - please unmask xf86-video-intel 2.7.0 If that doesn't fix the bug, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug and we'll work from there. Thanks, and sorry again for the delay.
I've just installed xf86-video-intel-2.7.1, and the problem no longer exists. Strange there's no option for me to remove the "NEEDINFO" from the "RESOLVED."
Reopening
And closing with the proper resolution. Thanks
