Window redrawing problem under KDE


Hi,

I've installed Mandriva 2010.1 and I've a problem with window redrawing when I scroll : some parts of the window does do not update (under Firefox, konsole and other apps). It is very annoying, particularly with the console and firefox.

I use xrandr for dual heads / screens (xrandr --output "HDMI-0" --auto --output "DVI-0" --auto --right-of "HDMI-0")

My config :
- KDE 4.4.3
- Video card : Radeon HD 3850 (RV670PRO)
- Xorg 7.5 with "ati" driver (free ati driver, not fglrx)

Some other infos :
- if I don't use xrandr (single screen) : the problem disappear...
- if 3D effects (composite) are enabled/disabled the problem is still here...
- I've tried to use proprietary driver (fglrx) but I'm not able to enable 3D effects...


thanks for your help,

Fabien

[SOLVED] Window redrawing problem under KDE

I reply to myself :
It seems to be a bug in xorg-server-1.7 : https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59780
I solved my problem by enabling KMS (kernel mode-setting) : http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/KMS
Now, it seems to work fine...

There were similar issues with fglrx driver and Firefox
In my case it seems to be fixed by removing the line: Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" from xorg.conf
