Looks like the infamous i810 refresh bug is back after yesterday's
xorg-x11 update (6.8.2-10). Well, maybe not exactly the same. There's
definitely some refresh problems, but the behavior seems slightly
different. Now, partial desktop icon artifacts appear near (usually
within an icon width or two) the original icons. But they appear
elsewhere on the screen sometimes, too, like when launching gnome-
terminal.
Should I update bugzilla 132267 or open a new one? Anyone else seeing
this?
I tested the xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.10test version on my desktop that has
the 815 card and al things seemed to work regarding dri, switching to
terminals and switching to different resolutions and depths. I tested
the nv driver on the same computer with the builtin and the driver was
worse in performance than the i810 performed.
It seems the breakage hapened again from xorg-x11-6.8.2-1 through
*6.8.2-10 for the i810 driver.
Has there been a new bug report filed for the rawhide i810 version breakage?
One thing is certain, the drivers from opensource could be made to work
a lot better with the videocards. My test demonstrated this with trying
the nvidia driver compared to the nv driver. I realize that nvidia has
the code and knows the details of their hardware, but it really shows
between the two drivers.
