Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Hi Since the move from compiz 0.8.4 to 0.8.6, end pf July, I've had corrupted chars in xterm as in the attached picture: some vertical bars clutter the chars. I checked with the compiz folks who told me this was triggered by a compiz change, but was a xorg bug in my video card's driver (intel). During Debconf I mentioned the bug to keithp who told me that this was a known issue with a couple of patches in xorg-server 1.9.0 fixing it. We were still in 1.8.x in Ubuntu. Now we're at 1.9.x+ and I still get the issue; I think it wasn't the one keithp thought of back then. If I drag the window around, the content gets fixed. GNOME Terminal doesn't show the issue. Cheers, ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-20.29-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-20-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 DRM.card0.DisplayPort.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.DisplayPort.2: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.HDMI_Type_A.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1440x900 edid-base64: AP///////wAwrnRAAAAAAAsTAQOAHRJ46tCjlltXlCYjUlkAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB2CegjFGEGjAwIDYAH7QQAAAYNCGgjFGEGjAwIDYAH7QQAAAYAAAADwCVCjKVCigeAQAwZABVAAAA/gBMVEQxMzNFUTFCCiAgAIc= DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: Date: Fri Sep 10 21:28:28 2010 MachineType: LENOVO 2777CTO ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.35-20-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname--vg0-ubuntu--root ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-intel dmi.bios.date: 03/12/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 6EET27WW (1.08 ) dmi.board.name: 2777CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6EET27WW(1.08):bd03/12/2009:svnLENOVO:pn2777CTO:pvrThinkPadX301:rvnLENOVO:rn2777CTO:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2777CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X301 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: x86_64 kernel: 2.6.35-20-generic ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- Garbled chars in xterm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
