[Bug 1314551] Re: 1002:130f [GIgabyte G1.Sniper A88X-CF] Font corruption
I'm having this problem on a Radeon HD 7870 on 14.04. It is supposedly fixed by a glyph cache fix in xserver 1.17. Unfortunately, the xserver in the upcoming Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet is still based on xserver 1.16. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314551 Title: 1002:130f [GIgabyte G1.Sniper A88X-CF] Font corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1314551/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In my case this happens with the open source Radeon driver on a Radeon HD 7950, but does not happen on a Radeon HD 5450. The only affected application its Firefox, and only when I'm editing text on a web site on a text editor gadget. In my case parts of the text dissapear, if I select the text using ctrl+a the text reappears, the dissapearace happens almost as soon as I begin to type. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) = xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314551 Title: 1002:130f [GIgabyte G1.Sniper A88X-CF] Font corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1314551/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've had similar problems. Regarding comment #7, 12.04 was not affected, I first saw the problem after upgraded to 13.10 (I didn't use 12.10 or 13.04 so can't say it they were affected). The problem persisted after upgrading to 14.04. I've had the same problem affected both open source ATI and open source Nvidia drivers (on different machines). In both cases problem ceases to exist after installing proprietary drivers. As mentioned in comment #5 just installing fglrx from Ubuntu repository borks the 14.04, I've installed proprietary drivers downloaded directly from AMD.com. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314551 Title: 1002:130f [GIgabyte G1.Sniper A88X-CF] Font corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314551/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Installing fglrx results in an unbootable system, even rebooting into failsafeX mode hangs completly after configuring the network. Luckily there has been a kernel update since the beta, so I could use the old grub entry to boot into failsafe mode and puge fglrx from there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314551 Title: 1002:130f [GIgabyte G1.Sniper A88X-CF] Font corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314551/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
