2008-09-15 21:42:22 wesley description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati Using EXA RENDER acceleration in the open source radeon driver, on an rv250 (Mobility 9000), certain transparency elements will get artifacts along the border of the canvas, for lack of a better word. It's not the border of the actual image, but the border of the entire canvas, i.e. a 32x32 image, of which the non-transparent image is only the center 16x16 square, the artifact would be along the "invisible" 32x32 edges. The artifacts are consistent, in that it's always the same elements that have the problem. Ubuntu Hardy Heron, 8.04 Xserver 1.4, Xorg 7.3 xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.8 The problem has existed since accelerated RENDER has been implemented. Still persists, even in the newer Intrepid Ibex 8.10 xserver and ati drivers. Setting RenderAccel to false, or MigrationHeuristic to greedy makes the problem disappear, as this disables RENDER acceleration. It doesn't seem to affect transparency that's generated by the compositor, but by transparency that's specified by an image.

2008-11-05 22:50:53 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation Hi Joey, I'd still like to have your Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf, and the output of lspci -vvnn when you get a chance, but I've gone ahead and forwarded this bug upstream anyway as I'd like to get progress going on EXA bugs (I'm hoping we can switch to it by default in Jaunty). I've forwarded your bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18401 Please subscribe to this bug in case upstream has more questions or wishes you to test something. Thanks ahead of time, and please attach the above info when it is convenient.
