An update on enabling EXA-acceleration in xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2: There are small corruption issues, and so it is right to still default to XAA.
The issues are not big, however: * If I use a bitmap-font in Gnome-terminal (yes, "Fixed 6x13" is my favorite of all times), there is annoying glyph-corruption. This never happens with fonts that are anti-aliased, so workaround is to not use bitmapped fonts in Gnome-terminal. * There is occasional small corruptions around check-box-widgets in web page forms when scrolling the page in Firefox. I've only seen this on pages with a large number of these boxes, like a typical GMail inbox. * Very rarely, there is slight corruption below the mouse cursor, but only for certain applications. I've seen it in Emacs and when running a remote Firefox using X-forwarding (on RHEL5). I plan to post proper bug-reports of these issues when I get around to it. And of course, if anyone knows about work-arounds for these issues, please do tell ! Also worth mentioning that I have tried the latest GIT-snapshot of the radeon-driver, and it works fine, but none of the issues above are fixed. -- Video playback failes with compiz enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
