I don't want to speak too soon but it seems that the latest patch fixes the problem.
First I've tried the latest git version and it didn't help, I've noticed corrupted fonts as soon as I logged on and start poking things in terminal. After I've applied the patch in comment #129 and restarted, no corruption at all (at least for now, it usually can be reproduced right after logging in). Chris, any thoughts on why is this happening with radeon opesource driver also ? -- 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/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
