Thanks for your bug report. The symptoms provided indicate this is a problem with your video drivers and is being reassigned to the xorg package.

Reinstalled Hardy from scratch, cannot reproduce.

Given that it works ok in metacity, and all the X options tested made no difference, and that the Expose plugin seems to have a role here, this probably needs to be looked at by a compiz person first, so reassigning package. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xserver-xorg-video-intel = compiz Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213856 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 reproduce the problem 100% of time if I open a site that has some client-side dynamic content, in for example http://www.engadget.com/ 's case, there's the rolling news box with big images on the top right. If I have that on-screen in Opera or Firefox and initiate Expose, the screen flickers everytime the box animates. Happens with embedded Flash also, although less prominently than with rapid updates caused by JavaScript animations. I'm not sure what triggers the flashes when I'm switching desktops on the Desktop Wall, but it happens ~75% of the time.

Couldn't reproduce with Metacity, all fine and dandy there. ** Attachment added: Xorg.0.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13351148/Xorg.0.log -- Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213856 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

Odd, I have FramebufferCompression disabled in xorg.conf, yet there are messages about fbc being disabled in the logs. -- Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213856 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

Interesting; can you reproduce the issue with compiz disabled, or only with compiz? Also, please attach your Xorg.0.log - we may need your PCI ID if it ends up being something particular to your hardware. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213856 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 213856] Re: Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM)
A bit of correction that might be important: when switching desktops, only the FOCUSED window flashes black, and then the desktop, both once. With Expose activated, desktops and windows flash randomly, BUT not windows that have been resized with the Shelf plug-in.

Something else I've discovered. Unticking Detect refresh rate and changing the Refresh rate option in compizconfig-settings-manager, I can reduce the flickers to zero once I reach 23. (default being 60) 24 gave me a single flicker in a LOT of Expose activations, 25 a bit more, up to 200 where the flickers combine into a huge black tear around the middle diagonally. -- Windows and desktops flicker and flash black with Compiz enabled with the Intel video driver (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213856 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
