Description Andreas Jaeger 2010-04-08 09:23:41 UTC

Entering text in xterm or gnome-terminal gives a broken display, sometimes black squares instead of characters, sometimes bars.

Comment 1 Andreas Jaeger 2010-04-08 11:36:32 UTC

Note: If I disable compiz, it seems to work fine.

I also have the problem that if I switch between two tabs in Firefox that after the tab switch the content is not redrawn and the old contents is displayed.  After a resize operation it is updated correctly.

This error is also fixed with disabling compiz.

So, it looks to me like AIGLX is broken in the Intel driver.

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2010-04-08 13:05:49 UTC

This likely is a compiz or Mesa bug.

Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2010-06-02 12:27:35 UTC

similiar on Intel system with GM965 graphics card - here I see the problem in the gnome-terminal: Sometimes refreshes do not happen (type "ls" several times or switch between consoles) but are redrawn later.

This makes compiz completely unusable.

This is a regression from 11.2, therefore adjusting severity.

Looks like a duplicate of 597596 - correct?
