I've just git bisected the issue with "Xephyr -glamor" and found the following commit in xorg-server, which appears to fix this: 743b6f231e999d8b2909228412266dc13cc433c5 is the first fixed commit commit 743b6f231e999d8b2909228412266dc13cc433c5 Author: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Date: Fri May 13 04:25:43 2016 -0700 glamor: Disable logic ops when doing compositing [v4] This needs confirmation though. Question is also, whether this fix alone is applicable for xorg-server in Leap 42.2.
