Bug#642703: [Pkg-fglrx-devel] general: Scan lines appear in drop-down menus. LibreOffice also shows artifacts when starting. Might be something to do with the version of fglrx.
Hi Jack, Jack Saunders wrote: Yes this is showing up when using the fglrx driver in Wheezy with its standard kernel. It is also present - but to a somewhat lesser extent, with the open source xorg-radeon driver in Wheezy. The problem does not show at all in Squeezy using either the fglrx driver or the open source driver. So squeezy is perfect here in this regard. The problem is still there in Wheezy when using the earlier Squeezy 2.6.32 kernel. So could be an Xorg problem problem rather than an fglrx problem - or both. 8-o. Let me know if you need anything else. Could you attach: - a screenshot or photograph of the screen exhibiting the problem - output from /usr/share/bug/linux-image-$(uname -r)/script 31 - output from /usr/share/bug/fglrx-driver/script 31 How reproducible is this? I.e., does it always happen right away, or does it take five minutes or so? Do any particular actions make it easier to trigger? Ideally, if you can trigger it at will, please boot without the fglrx driver, trigger the problem using the open source driver, and then attach dmesg output. How long ago did this start happening (if you remember)? Can you reproduce it using the kernel from squeeze with the open source radeon X driver from wheezy, or using the kernel from wheezy with the radeon X driver from squeeze? That's all I can think of for now. The screenshot or photograph would be the most helpful bit, I think.

Same here, on a Intel GM45 chipset in a Thinkpad T400, using the free Intel driver (so not sure if Holger’s re-assignment to fglrx-driver is correct). FWIW, the bug you're describing in the free Intel driver is tracked at [1]. Thanks, Jonathan And why did you reassign it back to fglrx? -- /* Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi GNU/Linux Debian Developer E-Mail: pmatth...@debian.org patr...@linux-dev.org */ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Because Joachim and Philip weren't describing Bug#642703, which had the description: Scan lines appear in drop-down menus. LibreOffice also shows artifacts when starting. Might be something to do with the version of fglrx. Accessing drop-down menus in LibreOffice shows scan lines. Starting LibreOffice shows artifacts on-screen. Then loads OK At least, I assume Jack was using fglrx. Cc-ing him in case more information is needed before it is possible to investigate this (which I assume is so).
