Hi Arch community

I have:

.....
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
Option "DRI" "True"
Option "NoDDC" "True"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "True"
Option "XaaNoPixmapCache"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
#Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
Option "Tiling" "false"
EndSection
.......
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

Have you tried using another accelmethod in xorg.conf? like EXA or UXA?
Maybe without xorg.conf at all?
i also use one of the 9* series intel video, 965gm, and I use the non-legacy driver...actually, the one from AUR (2.70), and its working almost nice...
EDIT
Sorry, didnt see the #....
but, if XAA is disabled, the options related to it should be too? ( the xaa*** stuff)

Something indeed introduced corruption recently on my 945GME. Can't figure out what.

@ lucke / epsilom: You could try to downgrade one of the following packages, that could be responsible for such a behavior: libxrender, renderproto or recordproto. See if downgrading one (or all) of them solves the corruption...
Offline
Most of the X packages updated recently, including those ones, only got license added. Unless rebuilding broke something.
I think I have downgraded all the suspect stuff and still no dice. Puzzling.

joaca_rj: I test with EXA and UXA but continue the same problem, when enable XAA method I can't have graphics efects
Dr4go: do you recommend downgrading version of these packages? mmm how I do it?
thanks

mmmm thanks big_gie
I add following line in my xorg.conf:
Option "ExaOptimizeMigration" "off"
with this the problem is mainly fix, but a few sections (rarely) continue graphic corruption (continuous testing), however this is far better.
I find the same problem in other sides:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/338669

I have apparently fixed my problems, but those were of different nature.
Offline
@ epsilom: I also experienced some corruption with one of those packages (or I believe that one of them caused this)... However I don't know which, because it happens not that often and the corruption is not that big...
You have to download them from an old repo and install them using the command "pacman -U *.tar.gz". For example: http://arm.nrk.cc/extra/os/
@ big_gie: I'm using UXA so I don't think that this option should / would be able to cause that.
However... let's wait 'til all the drm fixes reach the linux kernel...
Offline
UXA is a completely different beast... Its super fast in some things, super slow in others, stable for some, unstable for others....
On 4 of my machines, I have followed exactly this post:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 65#p522665
for KMS, DRI2 and UXA by default, and no corruption till now. I just had 1 freeze yesterday...
Offline
with the line "Option "ExaOptimizeMigration" "off"" I have not found again graphic corruption, solved
big_gie: I try enable KMS but not work fine. I continue without KMS for now.
thanks all

@epsilom
could you share your xorg.conf? I have the same problem with the compiz fusion as my WM, however, I didn't use xorg.conf.
Thank you!

first generate xorg.conf (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg ) and modify/add:

.....
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"

EndSection
