FVWM: OpaqueMove smears windows content with fglrx 10.x and above
Hi, since I use amd/ati driver fglrx with version 10.x (currently I use 11.1) I have the problem that the content of a window which was moved fast around in OpaqueMove mode becomes smeared. Depending on how fast and how long one moves one can not read any text in that window. Firefox redraws the window content directly after releasing the mouse (xterm does not), but the window title and frames are still damaged until I change the size of the window. Slow Moving of the window does not result in smearing of the content. Switching off OpaqueMove helps for most programs, but for example nedit has still some problems. Has anybody an idea what option in fglrx or fvwm one can use to avoid that smearing? With the kde desktop the problem does not occur. I use debian lenny on my notebook with ati radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card and the debian fvwm package. I have also installed a self compiled fvwm 2.5.31 which works but have the same problem. I can not see this problem with fglrx 8.x or 9.x but the more recent drivers has better support for my notebook. Since I use lenny I have no problem with fvwm even not in combination with beamers and openoffice or acroread, it just works. Thanks, Harald

Nothing FVWM can do about this. Sounds like a display driver issue to me. -- Thomas Adam -- "It was the cruelest game I've ever played and it's played inside my head." -- "Hush The Warmth", Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
