I'm using kernel 2.6.33-rc4, libdrm from git and nouveau driver from git. In KDE 4.3.4 I have a lot of artefacts on popup menus, on panel and with window decorations. Also sometimes I have problems with fonts in konsole, some letters are "screwed" i.e. I see some strange symbols instead of right char, restarting X helps to solve this.
Testing KDE 4.4 RC2 with 2.6.33-rc5, Xorg server 1.7.4 and nouveau-firmware-20091212-1mnb2, x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.15-0.20091221.1mdv2010.1 also resulted in screen artifacts. KDE bug report was closed as upstream integration problem between qt4 and noueveau driver: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224001
i would like to confirm this with kde 4.5 rc1, kernel 2.6.32-23, nouveau 0.0.15-git 20100219, xserver 1.7.5
Could you please add a snapshot of the issues you are having? I will have a look at it soon.
Also, please add kernel logs along with Xorg ones.
Created attachment 36763 [details] Screenshot of the corruption Here you can see the taskbar entry of konversation that has a strange icon. This can happen randomly, sometimes on all taskbar entries.
Beat wolf: What about the logs? kernel logs: dmesg > kernel.log Xorg logs: /var/log/Xorg.0.log Please post these two files on http://pastebin.com/ The bug you encounter is known, please monitor entry #28039. I also happen to have the same problem, the problem should be fixed soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 28039 ***
My kernel log: http://pastebin.com/hmnagBDe and my xorg log: http://pastebin.com/hu4BVEAA thanks for your help! other than that, nouveau works perfectly with kde, even faster than the binary driver!
Thanks. We have the very same card and we may have the same laptop :) Nouveau may seem snappier, but it really isn't (yet). Please monitor this thread, I'll tell you when I'm done with it.
