Hi,
It's been long time since I filed the bug, but I had no idea that you
requested further information! Please note that replying to the bug
address alone does not cause the message to be sent to the submitter!
Strangely enough, I can still reproduce the bug on an up-to-date etch
laptop (kufelek). I cannot reproduce it on another up-to-date etch
laptop (beczulka). The main differences are:
- kufelek is an older machine, on which woody (or sarge, I don't
remember) was installed initially, then upgraded to sid, and then
etch when it was freezing
- beczulka is a newer machine, to which etch was installed a few months
ago
- hardware is different: kufelek is an hp/compaq nx6110, with a Intel
Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
beczulka is a MacBookPro (running i386 arch) with a ATI Technologies
Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]
Some answers to your questions:
- all the teddies (tested with xteddy_test) consistently either work or
not, depending on the machine
- neither dist-upgrade nor xteddy reinstall helps
However, there is something potentially useful that I found: when on
beczulka, I do: "ssh -X kufelek xteddy", then it displays fine on
beczulka's screen.
If I do the opposite (i.e. ssh from kufelek to beczulka), it just
displays the outline on kufelek's screen.
This suggests that the problem is in the interaction with the X server
that runs on kufelek, and not with whatever xteddy is linked with.
Here is some differences in the Xserver config that I was able to spot:
kufelek has (while beczulka doesn't):
* the following modules:
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "type1"
Load "synaptics"
* the following option in the Device section
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
* the following extension:
Option "Composite" "enable"
beczulka has the following in ServerFlags:
Option "AIGLX" "off"
Do any of these sound like a possible cause? I could try changing
settings if any of these sound suspicious?
