[SOLVED] KDEmod 3.5.7: Dragging desktop icons leaves an annoying trail

saneone · 2007-08-30 21:14:56

I use KDEmod 3.5.7 and have a problem which you can see on an attached image:

The problem doesn't occur when dragging windows... only dragging icons action is affected...

I use "nvidia" kernel module and my Device Section looks like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"
        BoardName   "GeForce 6600 GT"
    Option "DPI" "96x96"
        Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
    Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
        Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    Option "RenderAccel" "True"
    Option "Coolbits" "1"
    Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Any ideas how to fix it?

maybe adding some modules in xorg?
example:

Section "Module"
    Load           "i2c"
    Load           "bitmap"
    Load           "ddc"
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "freetype"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "int10"
    Load           "vbe"
    Load           "dbe"
EndSection

    Load           "int10"
    Load           "vbe"
    Load           "dbe"
EndSection

I've got them all except for "vbe" and "int10" (which is actually needed only be "vbe")... I don't exactly know what "vbe" is for, but its work is rather similiar to "ddc" (Vesa BIOS Extensions), so dragging icons doesn't depend on it...

"dbe" stands for double buffer and i load this module...

This happens to me too. Using ARCH x64.
You should open a bug at http://kdemod.ath.cx/bugs/

mucknert · 2007-08-31 08:48:29

I'd recommend that you ask this question on the KDEmod-BBS on http://kdemod.ath.cx/ I guess that the Maintainers will lurk more there than here.

Thx for advice...

I created similiar topic on that forum, so I'll keep you posted if I receive any reply...

offtopic: saneone, could you tell me what icon theme you use?
Hope your problem has been solved.

My own icon set based on Ekisho Project.

Hope your problem has been solved.

Unfortunately no. It hasn't been solved but it was confirmed by "funkyou".

eldarion · 2007-09-09 18:30:07

The same here... Strange is since i first start using kdemod, this issue hapened. I don't remember if this hapened with the "vanilla" kde.

And it's not related to the icon themes.

fixed for me by adding the vbe int10 modules in xorg.conf

dunkelstern · 2007-09-09 19:31:47

Can't say that this works for me too.
Could you check what else has changed around the time you changed this.
VBE stands vor "Vesa Bios Extension" and has something to do with powersaving as i know... int10 is the reset interrupt for pci devices, so it won't affect that either.

Please look at your pacman.log

Thanks

Fixed with qt-enhanced 3.3.8-12

Just update

gkal · 2007-09-13 20:31:39

I have the same problem with KDE 3.5.7 (not kdemod)and haven't found a solution so far even with any of the suggestions above.

However when running Beryl the issue disappears, no problem!! What do you think?

funkyou · 2007-09-13 22:23:31

Are you using archs qt or qt-enhanced from KDEmod?

The problem was a patch for caching/buffering qiconviews applied to qt-enhanced. When i searched for a solution i also tried it with vanilla KDE and an installed qt-enhanced and had the same problem....

gkal · 2007-09-15 08:39:26

I'm using qt ...

Arch Linux
