I have this bug on Gentoo, running xterm under compiz, Radeon card with gallium drivers. Before hardware upgrade the system had nVidia card with nVidia's proprietary drivers, software otherwise the same, and it did not have this bug.
When I have time I plan to try upgrading to Gentoo's unstable versions of mesa etc. to see if they will fix the bug, but for now I use the workaround of (re)starting compiz with the "--indirect-rendering" option, which seems to get rid of the symptoms. Other people here might want to test if it works for them also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
