Since I upgraded from F17 to F18, all plots in X11 devices are
completely blank. For example, plot(1:10) does not show anything except
an empty window.

Other devices (such as PNG) work as they should.

This is with an Intel Ironlake Mobile GPU:
VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated 
Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I don't really know where to start the debugging, so please advise.

Additional information: using X11.options(type="nbcairo") works around
the problem (i.e. plots are drawn as expected); so does
X11.options(type="Xlib"). The reported bug (plots not drawn) applies to
both X11.options(type="cairo") (the default) and
X11.options(type="dbcairo"). So the problem seems to be with buffering.
Note that calling dev.flush() has no effect (it returns 0 anyway).

Arch Linux has a report which seems to be about the exact same problem:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32597

They noted that in addition to the remarks I made in comment #1, simply
resizing the plot window makes the plot appear. So it looks like the
buffer is not flushed correctly. This may well be a bug in Cairo since
different GPU vendors are affected, and even building R 2.14 from source
is said not to fix the bug.

Installing cairo-1.10.2-7.fc17 fixes the bug. But it's still present
with cairo-1.12.4-1.fc18.

Sorry, but according to Cairo developers, this is more likely an R bug.
Still investigating ATM...

Very interesting information! I'm not sure this means that the bug is in
Cairo or in the drivers, ruling out the possibility of it being an R
bug, but I'll ask Cairo developers about this.

According to:

it also occurs on ATI, so it's likely not a driver problem.

Indeed, I had somewhat skipped that detail. So maybe the proprietary
NVidia driver forces drawing while others are not, so that's why they
experience the problem...

Created attachment 682993
Patch applied upstream

Upstream has committed a fix. It would probably make sense to apply it
directly in Fedora instead of waiting for R 2.15.3, as this will appear
as a major regressions (some users might not even discover that resizing
the window is workaround).

I'm attaching the patch, it should apply cleanly to R 2.15.2 as the
files at stake have not been touched since then.
