Intel 965GM: Application windows aren't drawn, missing icons...

Hi there,

this is my first post to this forum.
I'm running an up to date Arch installation on an older MacBook with integrated intel 965gm graphics card.
Some time ago, spotify started to behave wierdly: The menubar got transparent and the window started to flicker.

Well spotify isn't the best piece of software craftsmanship so I thought they somehow messed up. I was using gnome 3 at that time. Now I'm using XFCE.
Most of my daily programs ran fine though. Some day I noticed my CopyAgent is behaving strange also: Flickering in the context menu, and the preferences didn't show up correctly.

When I tried to launch atom yesterday, I got an empty window with a menu bar.

I tried uxa, sna and glamour. I think stuff gets less flickery (spotify + CopyAgents's context menu) with uxa enabled.
So far every QT application has rendering issues (eg. scribus).


(When the window has focus, only the hovered menu entry is shown)

Most GTK+ applications work fine: gedit, chromium, firefox, gimp, inkscape. Atom does not.
3D Acceleration is working. I just installed 0ad, which works fine.

I already tried to run those applications in a freshly created user account and as root.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
jakschu
