Hi,

I am the reporter of the Q45 issue. The driver versions tested were the current Ubuntu release driver (2.4.1-0ubuntu7~intrepid), and a driver 2.5.1-1ubuntu5~intrepid which was provided by the Ubuntu Intel Graphics Driver Testing Team. I do not have a build environment in place currently to pull in the latest upstream driver for testing, but I will try to cobble something together and let you know what happens with it.

To also make sure my experience is properly echoed here, I am using kwin (4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1) as my window manager, and the desktop corruption occurs for pretty much any window that gets drawn over the desktop and then removed. Unlike with the original reporter, there do not need to be very many of them; simply opening and closing the KDE Menu, for example, will show graphics corruption (of the type illustrated in the original screenshot) in the area where the KDE Menu window used to be.

This problem does *not* occur when Desktop Effects are enabled within KDE. Additionally, clicking on the desktop seems to force a redraw which removes any graphical corruption that is present.

Regards,
