Just a heads up for 2.6.32-rc5 and x from testing

With testing repo enabled and with a custom 2.6.32-rc5 (kms enabled in kernel) colors on the screen are smugged and splattered, like I see all the rainbow colors on my desktop. The text is barely readable. This was not the problem when I haven't enabled testing so I guess it's mesa or xserver. The defect starts on loading gdm(kdm also).

Can anyone confirm this?

This is happening with GM965 (x3100).

Just to add 2.6.31.5 works flawlessly with x from testing so the trouble is only with 2.6.32 kernel. No strange dmesg or xorg.log errors, nothing out of the ordinary... Compiz is enabled but disabling it doesn't change anything...

Maybe it's patched in xserver 1.7.1 ?

I can confirm this using 945GM, 2.6.32-rc5 kernel with KMS enabled and the following versions:

xorg-server 1.7.0.902-1
xf86-video-intel 2.9.0-1

Custom compile of xorg-server 1.7.1 doesn't fix it.

I reported it almost two weeks ago in kernel bugzilla (intel drivers) but the problem dissapeared when I reinstalled arch so I've closed the bug report. When I reenabled testing it broke again so I'm not sure if the bug is in the kernel or xf86-video-intel or xserver. Well it doesn't make much difference, same dev's are working on both.

I just saw this patch mentioned in xorg-devel ML : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver … bc1a3be9e7

try applying that to intel driver.

Yep, patched xf86-video-intel fixes the issue. Thnx shining
