Description Luca Tettamanti 2009-08-27 12:49:18 UTC 
With current (7d36f13afa5da742aa6c989a2652e92c96e5f80e) git xf86-video-ati driver text areas are sometimes rendered with a black background. I've noticed the problem with firefox, I'm attaching a screenshot with an example of the problem.

I've bisected the bug down to this commit:

27d9664f8862d1948dd32021f8e9bcb94f23e4ef is first bad commit

    EXA: RENDER repeat cleanups.
                                
    We can't rely on the server setting pPict->repeatType to something sensible
    when pPict->repeat is FALSE, but we can do it ourselves.

Possible fix

Does this patch fix the problem?

If not, please attach the Xorg.0.log file (BTW, this is pretty much a requirement for any X related bug report).

Ops sorry, I was pretty sure that I did attach the log...
