What I realised later was that Sitosfe was hitting the bug in libdrm- intel that was causing it to fallback to swrast. After applying that patch, you also need libdrm-intel-2.4.41 or just http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=fdda97007b1dbf95beb16a0e3510fd36c89e8c33 Paul, can you update libdrm and see if the bug returns? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745608 Title: [915GM] font corruption on Intel GMA900 Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes getting incomplete drawing of same glyphs of one font on whole screen.
