Xorg.0.log
I should had that I currently have no xorg.conf. I have previously tried various xorg.conf changes like:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
but to no avail.
Finally, I should the output from this program illustrative: $ ./icanhasedit.py hello.txt Traceback (most recent call last): File "./icanhasedit.py", line 351, in <module> d = Document (sys.argv[1]) File "./icanhasedit.py", line 325, in __init__ FrameWindow.__init__ (self) File "./icanhasedit.py", line 65, in __init__ self.set_colormap (self.get_screen ().get_rgba_colormap ()) TypeError: GtkWidget.set_colormap() argument 1 must be gtk.gdk.Colormap, not None Comes from: http://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2008/08/11/icanhasedit/ Don't know quite what it does since I've never been able to run it, but it certainly involves alpha channels and compositing! Looks weird... Will have to dig deeper into this. Could you attach your full xorg.conf, dmesg, and the output of xdpyinfo? @gnome, I don't remember seeing this. Maybe one of you has? Thanks Created attachment 201442 [details]
dmesg
(probably a lot of suspend cycles in there)

xorg.conf
I currently don't use an xorg.conf. Here's one I used to use (that also exhibited this bug).
Could you try not using metacity's compositor and use xcompmgr instead? Thanks Created attachment 201462 [details]
gentoo-xcompmgr.png
good idea! Bug still happens, so I guess that rules out metacity, must be xorg?
I guess it's not a gnome bug then. Removing CC. Please file a bug upstream [1] and paste the url here so I can track the issue. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html upstream bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23406 I reopened, hope that's the right thing to do. Your bug report is perfect. Thanks for opening it. Let's track this upstream directly, I'll CC myself on the bug. Thanks |
