The precise characters that are corrupted depends on things like the font-weight, but is repeatable. It seems likely this is a problem with the driver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Nothing special required view a web page. 2. 3. Actual Results: Some characters will appear corrupted (see attachment). In the attachment the headings 'Technology' and 'Sci/Environment' both show the issue.

...
Can you give me a heads up when the state is consistent again and it's save to try?

Even Coolo our openSUSE release manager doesn't know.

But there must be a point in the future where it becomes stable? At least when 12.2 is released. ;)

...

...
Btw: Pointers to which repositories to add for XOrg and the kernel are also welcome!

In the buildservie it's X11:XOrg and Kernel:stable.
