[opensuse-factory] Major UI problem after latest TW update
During booting, there is massive video tearing when the lightbulb appears. Mouse movement causes black areas to appear under the mouse. In konsole, pressing a key causes the whole line to go black, same with program output. The system is unusable this way. My backup system is fine, so it is likely not a hardware problem (but primary system runs on SSD, backup on HD). There are no problems when booting into a level 3 system without desktop. I hope I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks Albert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I believe you will need to add information about the video hardware you are using, and what drivers :-) I assume you are using tumbleweed? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

No such problem here? What's your 'inxi -SGxx' output from Konsole or Xterm? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

You're not the only one. I run Nvidia and it destroyed my desktop too. So uninstalling the intel driver won't help me. I believe it is the Mesa drivers because this has happened before....something about the driver doesn't get compiled for the kernel version. I'm hoping we'll get a fix in a few hours. Fortunately, I have another computer available so it's not emergency yet but quite inconvenient. If it persists too long I'll have to try the compositing trick.....

Are you using nvidia or nouveau? In the latter case you could try to uninstall xf86-video-nouveau. Probably won't help if it is indeed a problem in Mesa though. OTOH, if you are using Mesa (i.e. not nvidia), there's nothing that needs to be compiled for the kernel version... And if you are using nvidia, it can't be related to Mesa (unless the Mesa update destroyed your nvidia installation, but that should not happen anymore with libglvnd).
