Public bug reported: Since sna acceleration of the intel display driver is enabled by default, I see two types of display distortions from time to time: i) windows have some times stippled borders, ii) xfce4-terminal shows distortions, when switching windows with alt+tab (view attachment). To reproduce it, open two terminals run some commands to fill them with text and switch between them via alt+tab a few times.
I've found following workarounds to prevent this from happening: - switch to uxa via xorg.conf or - disable compositing in xfwm4 - replace xfwm4 with another wm (tested with mutter, metacity) Details: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 7) xserver-xorg-video- intel: 2.21.6-0ubuntu4 xfwm4: 4.10.0-4ubuntu1 xfce4-terminal: 0.6.1-0ubuntu2 ** Affects: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "xfwm4 display distortion" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171411/+attachment/3650487/+files/dis2.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171411 Title: xfwm4 may show display distortions, when using compositing on intel with sna To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1171411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
