Hi,
I upgraded Debian to current unstable on my iBook.
X11 apparently got a bit worse again, whole windows do not redraw
correctly but get random content and need to be minimized/reopened to
get a refresh, when covered damaged sections contain garbage...
Not all apps, e.g. xterm seems to work, but all GNUstep applications are
affected (GS from source, not packages, but that should not matter)
Up to a couple of months ago, this was enough:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "ati"
Option "ForcePCIMode" "True"
Option "EXANoComposite" "True"
# Option "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
24 bit is needed because, even if slower, the driver lies about the
visual depths it can handle.
EXANoComposite was enough to get out all the bugs about font drawing,
but retain at least a bit of accell to be able to move and scroll
windows acceptably!
What's your experience?
Riccardo
