Unwanted transparency when using lwjgl applications and compositing.

Jodell · 2014-01-23 20:09:45

As the title states when using any application that uses the lwjgl library (Minecraft, lwjgl demos from their website, etc) the window is either transparent with the sprites opaque (if it is 2D) or fully transparent. This is only with compositing window managers. If compositing is turned off then the programs behave as expected.

I do not believe it is a driver issue since there is at least one other person who has the problem that has a different graphics card to mine (I have sandy bridge graphics, the person has nvidia).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Intel drivers do not support FXAA since it is an Nvidia only feature.

Same problem here playing minecraft. Using a ThinkPad with Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics.

I have not NVIDIA Graphics cards :

$ lspci | grep "VGA"

i had this same problem and fixed it by turning off fancy graphics in minecraft

I just tried your suggestion. However, while the game is now playable with compositing turned on, the issue can still be seen in areas where transparency is used in the game (clouds, water, ice, GUIs, etc).

Same problem here, only occurs when using my Intel card to run Minecraft though.

Minecraft won't even start when I want to use my nvidia card with bumblebee...

Really? What error do you get, because it works fine with me.

heystove · 2014-02-06 04:21:13

Same problem for me too. Using Sandybridge graphics!

Jodell · 2014-02-12 05:39:54

It seems that this is a bug in version 1.15 of the xserver. I downgraded to 1.14.5 and the issue has disappeared.

Can anyone point me to the Xorg bugzilla? There's so many on freedesktop.org

There isn't necessarily an xorg specific bugzille to my knowledge, I feel that they lumped it all together and worked from their. However, if you specify a freedesktop product (e.g. xorg, cairo) Then you'll be able to see the xorg bugs that have been listed.

Their bugzilla search page.

I'd suggest selecting the product that is your problem, not sure if it's xorg or something else, but I'm going to be looking through ever .log file that's related to my graphics and xserver to see if I can't dissect this problem since it seems to be in every game that I own or play as well.

Did you already file a bug report? If so, what is the id please - I want to subscribe and can't find it.

clawz · 2014-02-27 14:36:19

Just wanted to let you know: I installed the catalyst-test-pxp from the AUR today and the problem is gone.

EDIT: with hybrid gfx cards, it only works when you have the amd radeon card activated (but then a dual head setup won't work), on the other side with my intel gfx card activated I have the same transparency issue as before.

This is the exact same problem that I am having. I am using a laptop with intel graphics and running gnome as my DE. I couldn't figure out how to fix this issue though.

same thing here....exactly. if you dont really need xcompmgr, i would just not use it, or disable it when you are playing minecraft, and re-enable it after

Jodell · 2014-03-29 11:07:09

I'm using the mesa-git and xf86-video-intel-git packages and the problem seems to be fixed.

JamesLens · 2014-04-06 16:34:03

Same issue here for both intel and nvidia cards. Unfortunately disabling the compositing manager is not an option because Nouveau's PRIME requires a comp manager to work properly. Where can a bug report be filed?

Sorry for the late reply, forgot about this one.
