[Bug 316588] Re: [i855] Strange rendering of some letters with driver version >2.3.x
Sorry, I've made a mistake. Only driver versions 2.5.x and higher are affected from this bug. Version 2.4.x works fine. Can someone please change the title of this bug from "driver version >2.3.x" to "driver version >2.4.x". glasen -- [i855] Strange rendering of some letters with driver version >2.3.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 316588] Re: [i855] Strange rendering of some letters with driver version >2.3.x
** Description changed: Hi, When i use the the intel-gfx-driver above version 2.3.x, i get strange "artifacts" around some letters on the screen. I have attached a screenshot of the problem, because it is hard to describe for me (English is not my native language). My hardware is a Dell Latitude D505 with a Intel 855GM-chipset. I've activated EXA (no xorg.conf-file). The problem occurs at driver versions higher than 2.3.x. Version 2.3.x and below work perfectly. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller [8086:3580] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0163] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0163] -- [i855] Strange rendering of some letters with driver version >2.3.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this also for me; it's more than a month I'm affected by this and it's very annoying. Also, some other widgets are anti-aliased in a strange way; for example some web pages are rendered badly, or some widget borders flicker. More irritatingly, these artifacts change when you type, so your attention gets easily carried away. It does stress your sight. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 01) Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:0543] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Kernel modules: intelfb 00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 01) Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:0543] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- -- [i855] Strange rendering of some letters with driver version >2.3.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
