Graphical glitch in Steam client

Sublime2k · 2014-11-23 12:16:46

I'm using Lenovo N500 laptop with 3.14.25-1-lts kernel, i3 window manager and Intel drivers.

I have a graphical glitch in Steam client, it looks like this:

It happens in every window or menu that I open. It also happens in games which obviously makes them unplayable.

I tried reinstalling Steam and drivers, but it didn't help. I also tried searching for solutions, but couldn't find anything.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

Anyone?

Does this only occur when you're using i3? You said it also happens in games, which ones? If you're on a 64bit system, do you have the needed 32bit libraries installed? Did you check the wiki, especially this, this and this?

I haven't tried anything other than i3, I've been using it for a while and I don't wish to change it. If it means anything, I don't have the same problem on my desktop (with HD 7850) which also has Arch with i3.

It happens in Gunpoint and Lyne, among others, both in windowed mode and full screen.

I have 64 bit system, yes, but the 32 bit libraries are installed.

Installing Steam fonts didn't help. The other two links didn't help either.

Thanks for trying to help, though, I appreciate it.

Are you running a compositor?

As far as I know, no.

Ensure that you have tear-free video enabled. I think the large DE compositors enable it automatically, while stand-alone window managers do not.

Sublime2k · 2014-11-26 20:21:39

I already have that.

Try running compton:

compton --backend glx --vsync opengl-swc

Does that fix it?

Sublime2k · 2014-11-26 20:27:24

Unfortunately, no.

It might help narrowing down the issue if you try running steam in at least one other window manager, is what I meant.

I see. I will try Openbox tomorrow, then.

I tested with Openbox, same thing happened... So it's not i3's fault.
