After playing around with those packages, it seems to be xorg-server itself that is causing this. My compositing in KDE is back working again after with just xorg-server downgraded to version 1.6.1.

in my notebook, just downgrading all the packages before "Thu Jul 16 19:25:26 CDT 2009" back to work well I first tried to downgrade pixman, but the problem remained |

Well, I did it too and the problem is still the same, now...My system should work correctly with the latest updates, downgrading a package remaining back with the distribution for a "bad job" of a package is not right, so I'd solve this problem for everybody, the problem exists and I'd consider it a bug to report to Pat, before to do it I'd downgrade my distro to the updates which don't cause these problems, after I'd upgrade the packages once at time |
I am running the latest slackware-current on an Asus eeepc netbook with Intel 945GM graphics, and slackware64-current on a 64bit desktop with GeForce 6800LE graphics using NVIDIA's binary driver. On both systems I have no issues at all with KDE4 and compositing. My netbook does not have an xorg.conf file at all, and my desktop x.org.conf has only five lines, forcing the use of the binary "nvidia" driver instead of the default "nv" driver.
Are you all suffering from left-over files or packages, or have you made incompatible adjustmenst to your kernel/X.Org confgurations? Eric |

The problems are different, depending on the configuration - With xorg 1.6.2, intel beta driver and mesa 7.4.4 beta 3d broken (glxgears does not show anything for examples), crash at X kdm logout, crash when I do tests in the control center, lost compositing - With xorg 1.6.2, intel beta driver and mesa 7.4.1 beta 3d it's ok, other problems are the same - with intel non beta I have also this problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...01#post3583601 This not testing with 64bit, i'm sorry - all testing with or without pixman downgraded, huge and generic kernel In the 32bit version I tried also with "my" 2.6.30.1 kernel - with xorg 1.6.1 all ok, only brightness lcd is broken (kde4 powerdevil) Probably depends on my hardware configuration, in other pc (but not 64bit) with nvidia card it's all ok |

I, as far as I am aware, have no old packages or conflicting configurations. I do have a custom built kernel, but I am not exactly new to kernel compilation nor Xorg config customization, and this installation is only a few weeks old. But then, I do have the habit of manually compiling most packages I use outside of the Slackware package series and I can see that it is possible that something is interacting with something else to cause this problem although nothing I have installed should be interacting with any X or openGL stuff... I am content to use my current setup as there does not appear any instability, however I intend to re-install from scratch upon official Slackware 13 release and try to use slackbuilds instead of doing it all myself, so hopefully I too will have no issues once all that is sorted out. |
