If I compile xf86-video-intel with sna use I get same image distortion: the animation when I click on a icon on gnome-panel is distort and the transparent background of gnome terminal doesn't work well emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.41 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.1.5-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.1.5-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_Dual_CPU_T2370_@_1.73GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.3 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 26 Dec 2011 00:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.2-r3, 3.1.4-r3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.6-r4 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.3 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.21.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.3-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.39 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.13-r4 Repositories: gentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=core2 -Os -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL="" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 applet archive automount berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups custom-optimization cxx dbus device-mapper dri dvd dynamic fat ffmpeg fortran gdbm gdu gedit glitz gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk hddtemp iconv java jpeg laptop lcdfilter libnotify lm_sensors mad mmx modules mp3 mpeg msn mudflap nautilus ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly opengl openmp pam pcre pidgin png pppd readline samba sensord session sna spell sqlite sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 sysfs taglib tcpd theora threads thunar tordns truetype udev unicode usb wifi xcb xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always
Is there anyone?
There is not much we can do about this bug. See if it was already reported upstream on bugs.freedesktop.org and if not, open a bug there. If you provide a link to the bug report here, we will consider backporting any patches that are needed.
ok. Thanks!
Is this still an issue with xf86-video-intel-2.20.6?
Yes, still there with versions up to 2.20.7 (has been happening since I upgraded to gnome3 and x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0-r3 - on changing to to LXDE matters improved but its only with the version 2.20.7 I can last a full day without having to log out/backin to clear the display of artifacts. Each version gets a little better though. Hibernate/resume always triggers it, but by the end of a normal days work I usually have to log out to get a readable screen even without hibernate. For some reason, the background wallpaper on LXDE is very prone, and some fonts seem more prone than others (i.e., you can change fonts in FF and change the severity.) see http://wdk.ddns.info/lxde-logo.png for a "mild" effect. >lshw *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 02 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:16 memory:c1f00000-c1f7ffff ioport:6800(size=8) memory:e0000000-efffffff memory:c1f80000-c1fbffff BillK
Which kernel version are you now using? If you have not already done so, upgrade to newest stable. Which window manager are you using? Try adding debug use flag locally: -IUSE="glamor +sna uxa xvmc" +IUSE="debug glamor +sna uxa xvmc" and in src_configure to use it: src_configure() { XORG_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=( + $(use_enable debug) $(use_enable dri) $(use_enable glamor) $(use_enable sna) and then compile with debug enabled: USE="debug" emerge -1 xf86-video-intel Try to reproduce the issue and add the compressed Xorg.0.log file.
Please try with the latest ~arch ebuild (2.20.14 as of today) and let us know if you still have issues. If so, please open a bug report upstream [1] like Chí-Thanh requested in comment #2. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
