Surprise! 2.6.31-3 karmic update dist-upgrade and no smears! Font smear problem fixed on this i830 IBM Thinkpad R31.

As it is on old Omnibook 510 of which the docking station no longer functions and thus I currently have no CD-drive, I haven't yet taken the time to buy a HD and install Ubuntu on it before replacing the broken HD. It would, however, be interesting to know whether the bug is indeed fixed, but alas I don't think it will happen any time soon. :-( It was nevertheless very interesting to follow this bug-report, and I am happy that this obscure bug was repeatable by someone else and likely fixed at the moment. :-D -Aschwin -- [i830] Fonts smear after a while of use (Hardy-Intrepid regression) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

2.6.31-2 karmic font smears very much. The screen looks like black ink blots sprayed all over it. It's back to intrepid to do any useful work on this Thinkpad R31 i830.

Below is the git commit id for the patch which fixed the upstream bug referenced here. This patch is already in the 3.6.31-1.14 Karmic kernel. However, it seems the hardware reported here is different than the hardware reported in the upstream bug report.

Font smear very much still with us on karmic 2.6.31-1 as updated on 20090704. Either Ubuntu never picked up the fix from upstream on bugzilla 21415 or else the fix doesn't work or whatever. For useful work on this IBM Thinkpad R31 it's still Intrepid which doesn't smear. Jaunty and karmic do.

Karmic A2 release still has font smear. Is there any data we can get to help? This bug has been around since the NoAccel problem was fixed in the Intel drivers on Jaunty in Februrary. Upstream thinks they fixed it on Bugzilla Bug 21415 released and verified on June 3. Any chance Ubuntu will pick up the fix?

[Bug 304514] Re: [i830] Fonts smear after a while of use (Hardy-Intrepid regression)
I feel your pain, Jerry :( It looks like the patch fd.o is queued up to go into Linus's branch shortly but hasn't made it yet [1]. I'd guess that without any hangups, it will go into the 2.6.31 release. Conveniently, that's also the kernel version targeted for the final Karmic release as well [2]. If you're feeling adventurous and want to compile the kernel yourself, check out [3]. You would want to use the git source and get the patch in from there. I was also able to find (while looking up that patch) a reference to it in the #ubuntu-x IRC channel [4] (search for 07f4f3e8a24138ca2f3650723d670df25687cd05). There's a lot of signal in that log, so it would be a good one to be familiar with. So I guess the short of it is to wait for the fix to make it in. To get a better idea of how the patch is being handled, you should ask on #ubuntu-x.

Bugzilla 21415 may well be the same problem. Some comments there said that turning swap off helped. This Thinkpad R31 has 512 mb and is not very happy with swap off, however it does run. The font smear or corruption (extra bits) is slower in appearing. I'll attach Xorg.0.log with swap off and font corruptions accumulating. . On this Thinkpad the trouble appeared about the time the driver was updated so Option NoAccel was not necessary. The driver in use is 2.7.0.

Andrew, Installed 2.7.0 driver as reported by Xorg.0.log. I was able to run GtkPerf three times O.K., fonts O.K. Then I startedl firefox and over half the fonts in this message are big black blotches. For what it is worth, GtkPerf was about 2% faster with 2.7.0 than 2.6.3 however it doesn't mean buch since to do any meaningful work at all I've got to boot up Intrepid. Nice having dual boot.

Andrew, Sure is an issue on IBM Thinkpad R31 i830, updated to rc4 etc. Run GtkPerf a couple of times and text is essentially black blotches and unreadable. Let me give the 2.7.0 driver a try. It's using 2.6.3 driver now. Jaunty's running well otherwise, however I do get an occasional hang for all I know might be related to whatever is spraying random pixels onto the fonts.
