Hello, I have just installed Linux Debian 5.0 (Lenny) on an old laptop :
Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo L7300, 512 Mo RAM (including 64 Mo video), Hard drive 40 Go (14 for linux), Celeron 1.5 Ghz, Graphic chipset VIA PN800. The default graphic driver is "openchrome" for this chipset. But the background of the screen is not properly refreshed. Sometimes, the icon disappear or there are remaining traces after moving a window. The problem has already been detected. See the following pages : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/259389 http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=248822 (This page is in French, but there is a snapshot of screen which shows the problem.) This problem is not precisely reproducible. It occurs with KDE, GNOME, LXDE, gdm, kdm... But It disappears when using "via" as device driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have downloaded, compiled and installed the last version (903) of 'openchrome" . But this did not solve the problem. Note that I had to install x11proto-gl-dev, otherwise the flle glxint.h is not found during compilation. Will this problem be fixed in a new version of "openchrome" ? Is there any workaround or configuration (in xorg.conf) to do ? Thank you very much for any information. _______________________________________________ openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.openchrome.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://wiki.openchrome.org User Forum: http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1
