Hello all, I recently updated the graphics drivers on a large amount of office machines and noticed that some of the machines are now showing graphical corruption on icons and other parts of the XFCE4 interface (e.g. the clock or icons on the panel) when you mouse over them (when the icon should raise slightly). Moving the mouse back and forth over icons results in differing degrees of corruption varying from very slight to completely destroyed. I doubt this is specific to XFCE4, that's just the desktop environment that these machines are using (and unfortunately I don't have any way of testing another). The version we updated to was xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+552+ge41040f-1 (Arch Linux) although unfortunately I don't know what the old version we were using was, but it was several months old. The only machines experiencing corruption show under "lspci" as "Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset" as the VGA adapter. It's not all Intel GPU machines as there are other machines with Intel onboard graphics which are fine (either newer or older chipsets). Switching to UXA rather than SNA fixes the graphical corruption, but this in itself causes problems as it no-longer automatically uses the correct screen resolution by default for monitors greater than 1280x1024 in multi-monitor setups (e.g. monitor 1 will show 1600x900 just fine, monitor 2 despite being a 1080p monitor will just show 1280x1024 for unknown reasons, this only happens under UXA, not SNA). I'm not keen on switching back to UXA and manually setting the monitor resolutions isn't viable as any machine may be connected to any monitor at any time, so hard-coding it is a no-no. TL;DR: Latest xf86-video-intel causes graphical corruption on "4 Series Chipset" machines. Thanks all. _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
