Ubuntu has an experimental 64bit raring kernel (3.8) with the fix for the coherency bug. Works great for me for fixing the artifacts in the large bitmaps.
Can be tested at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1200126/ It delivers the fix to 65665. This is very good news also for this bug since the fixed kernels makes it possible to wide test (at least on ubuntu) for the this bug decoupling away effects from the other 65665. Specifically, it is now possible to ignore some of my attachments for this bug as they showed artifacts caused by the other bug (this is certainly the case for the 'sample libreoffice document that almost always shows issues). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption in Chromium tab bar Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
