Bug#619472: X.org with i915 produces garbage sometimes being run on Linux 2.6.38
Hi Andrew, Andrew O. Shadoura wrote: The bugs is reported to be fixed here: Thanks! (For reference, the link was to a backport of v2.6.39-rc2~3^2~13, drm/i915: Fix tiling corruption from pipelined fencing, 2011-03-17.) If you find time to test a recent kernel from sid or experimental (which would include the fix), that would be excellent.

Here the problem seems to be in xserver-xorg-driver-intel, not in the kernel. But you have a rather new i945, so this can be unrelated. Yes, different chips have different problems. That's the point. Now i have to use the 2.6.37 because with 2.6.38 i have screen corruption. From what i've understood from Intel developers, 2.6.38 contains changes that require an x driver not yet released or older than the current. And this is simply not true. Please don't reply to bugs unless you are a maintainer or have real information to add.

That's not correct, my previous laptop also had a Radeon 7500 Mobility and I had hw acceleration in X. Upstream developers state this, too (7500 Mobility has an r100 chip): Well, I do not know what do they put in those feature matrices, the fact is that on my system no hardware acceleration was available, and the TV out didn't work at all before the latest X, and in the latest version it didn't work properly (the colors were shifted into the blue). -- WBR, Andrew signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Probably not what you meant to refer to. Sorry for the error, i was referring to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619022 It's a bug opened by me, in which there is a link to a bug i opened upstream, where there are informations that have lead me to reply here. But you have a rather new i945, so this can be unrelated. Yes, different chips have different problems. Yes, although to me they look suspiciously similar. Please don't reply to bugs unless you are a maintainer or have real information to add. I'm sorry that you think that my reply contains no info and it's useless. My intention was the opposite: to help Debian and the submitter to solve the bug and, indeed, i believed my reply could be useful to this. And, i assure you, my time is as precious as yours, and it's not my intention to waste neither your nor mine nor everyone's else. Ciao.

From what i've understood from Intel developers, 2.6.38 contains changes that require an x driver not yet released or older than the current. Or, as we are doing, to use an older kernel. But i believed this was a problem specific to older chipset, like mine, so my doubts that this bug has a different origins. Ciao.
