[opensuse-kde] context menus & window backgrounds, brief corrupt image
openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, ATI catalyst / fglrx driver 11.12, KDE 4.7.2 I assumed this was just some quirk only affecting myself, but maybe I'll ask if anyone else is seeing this. Whenever I right click to open a context menu, it briefly draws some corrupt garbage looking stuff where the context menu should be. It quickly disappears and the context menu is drawn properly... ? This happens with 'desktop effects' enabled or disabled. Although it is less garbage-y looking with them disabled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

The context menu starts as a black rectangle, to be filled after a while. The effect is visible for the first time only if you invoke the context menu twice in a row. It seems the code to fill the context menu must be loaded to RAM first.

Hi, It happens every time, and I don't get a black rectangle, I get random color pixel garbage. Any app, anywhere on screen that I click. I'll see if a newer KDE release helps any... thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hello, Same here on my system. Always took it for something which has to do with my system or monitor. Good to know that we are not alone. Have not found a solution for the effect. Could it have something to do with an older graphic card or low memory?

Can't have something to do with old GPU - happens to me on my 6870, too I assumed it has something to do with off-screen rendering which is what compositing is doing (afaik). But if you are telling me that this also happens with desktop effects off, maybe it is something else. Maybe it already uses the GPU memory before having drawn anything into it which is why it is showing some random content of previously rendered images (this is what I see) Nico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I'm seeing the same problem on my Thinkpad E420 with an Intel graphics card. Strangely this problem doesn't come up with Kubuntu or Chakra. Any reason why it should happen only on openSUSE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Yes I have seen that.. like video memory is not being initialized and shows whatever was previously stored there. An ATI problem? I have HD 5770 using fglrx driver. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Problem still exists: KDE 4.8.0, fglrx 12.1. I will test some other window managers. Not sure where to file bug yet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, Sorry to jump late into this issue ... I've seen similar and the only way I got it to go away was when Thomas suggested I set `XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS' in my `profile' As I use `tcsh': # # Artifact fix (when rt-clicking on background, # Appliication Launcher leaves a trail) # setenv XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS 1 Cheers, -- Pablo Sanchez - Blueoak Database Engineering, Inc Ph: 819.459.1926 Blog: http://pablo.blog.blueoakdb.com Fax: 760.860.5225 (US) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

i'm still experiencing this problem - it is not related with the video driver because i use both opensource ati and fglrx and the problem shows on both drivers. disabling/enabling effects has nothig to do with it. DOes it also happen to anyone on 32bit system. I use 64 bit and maybe this problem affects only 64bit users? -- View this message in context: http://opensuse.14.n6.nabble.com/context-menus-window-backgrounds-brief-corr...
