Notifications clipped with xorg-edgers

[Tobias Wolf]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I added Xorg edgers PPA and the notification bubbles are cut off in the east and south.
I have GM45 Intel graphics.

This bug also affects me. I am running an i5-660 (clarkdale) using the onboard graphics. I use the edgers PPA. Happy to provide any output that might be relevant.

This affects me too. I am using a Radeon card with the r300g driver from xorg-edgers.

[David Gerfauo (davidgr)]

Same problem here. Nvidia 8600GT. Also using the edgers ppa.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

those drivers are not the default drivers that come with ubuntu. so its not a bug in ubuntu.

[Tobias Wolf (towolf)]

I meant this bug mainly as a heads-up for Mirco. In the next cycle it probably will become a bug in Ubuntu itself due to the forward looking nature of xorg edgers..

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

thats why I opened the upstream task ;)

This looks like three cairo-drawing calls are just not executed... for whatever reason. Since people reported this on intel and nvidia (using the proprietary driver) I'm expecting some Xlib-issue with pattern-padding to be the culprit.

As notify-osd's rendering code has not changed at all this cycle (maverick), I think we've to make this to be xorg-related (Xlib) with notify-osd being affected.

But that just pure guess-work atm. It needs further investigation during the natty-cycle.

I also see this issue with an ATI x1300 using the open source radeon driver from xorg-edgers.

[Denis Konstantinov (linvinus)]

same problem after upgrade from lucid with enabled xorg-edgers repo. to maverick without xorg-edgers repo.
command
#dpkg -l | grep edgers
give me nothing,
synaptic say that xorg-edgers repo. was blocked on upgrade to maverick.

I'm experiencing this bug on Arch Linux. Russian Arch users report that downgrading pixman from 0.20.0 to 0.18.4 solves the problem: http://archlinux.org.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41734#p41734
