[Gimp-user] bizarre behavior of tracing tools with GIMP 2.3
I installed version 2.3.18 on two similar computers: Debian Sid and kernel 2.6.21. The problem occurs only on one of the computers, not the other. It does not occur at all with version 2.2. With all the tracing tools that use a brush (pencil, brush, eraser, dodge and burn, etc.) but only with them, as soon as the pointer is in the image window, there appears a series of images of the current brush, light green. They don't modify the image itself, as simply redrawing it makes the images to disappear. An example can be seen on http://pierredelune.i3s.unice.fr/bizarre.png Since this problem makes Gimp 2.3 pretty unusable for me, I would very much like to find a solution. What other information would be useful? -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What other information would be useful? I don't know. But this is a bug in your X server; it does not handle XOR drawing correctly. You may be able to configure X to work around the bug. You should probably ask this question on the appropriate list for XFree86 or X.org, whichever you are using, and provide the contents of the Device section for your video card (found in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/Xorg.conf depending on whether you use XF86 or Xorg) Maybe a bug in the X server, but then, why does it occur only in Gimp version 2.3, not 2.2, and in no other graphic tool ? Moreover, I have the same version of Xorg on both computers, and the problem occurs on only one. Still moreover, is not XOR drawing used for moving the pointer image anywhere on the screen? Thus I'm asking what could be specific to Gimp 2.3. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Moreover, I have The drawing color changed (and I think the way GDK implements the draw, which matters because GIMP increased the version of GTK they require (GTK includes GDK)) between 2.2 and 2.3 the same version of Xorg on both computers, and the problem occurs on only one. The version of Xorg is irrelevant -- that comparison only makes sense if you have the same *video card* in both systems. This bug has been reported several times, and it's directly related to X's driver for your video card. OK. The video cards are different: - on the computer where it works correctly: ATI Technologies Inc RV 370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] - on the computer where it fails: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] But the X driver is the same in both cases, i.e. ati. Should I try the proprietary fglrx driver? Anyway, thanks a lot for answering me questions not really relevant to this list! -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
