driver issue. the driver cares about the alpha pixel value BUT it doesnt PAD it
with 0xff as an argb texture. with gl_blend disabled it still cares and hasn't
done the padding so u get this result. so the upper byte of the pixel (MSB)
should be 0xff. applications dont bother filling it as 0xff as they say "hey -
i have no alpha channel. what are u talking about? i never heard of these
things!" but the gl pipeline and compositor care. there may be a workaround,
but as i swore off anything ati after my last round of craptasticness from
fglrx, it won't be me doing anything about it.
