Xorg.log

Xorg.log with today's build of mesa from git.

This looks very similar to my issue, see 
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234852

The libreoffice screenshots shown at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/90910/writer-displays-no-text/ are almost exactly what i encounter.

Going back in the log of my package manager i have been able to narrow the cause down somewhat.

The cause should be somewhere between these two commits.

Pavel, could you check the libreoffice screenshots to verify we have the same issue ?

LO Writer example

I got a bit different picture here. Added attachment above. Menus and tooltips aren't rendered. The text is fine.

Installed gvim to verify, and that has no menus AND shows no text.
It looks like both of us have the same issue, but i have an additonal one: no text at all in affected programs.

I'm running archlinux x86_64 with xf86-video-ati on an AMD HD 4870.
xorg 1.19.6, kernel 4.15.5
 
programs without text in menus on my system : 
openbox, lxde, gvim, libreoffice, firefox gtk-filechooser, thunderbird gtk-filechooser

No issues at all in qt programs like lxqt, kwin, gwenview , okular, calligra .

Could you verify whether qt programs have issues ?

It appears most recent commits wrt r600 were written by Dave Airlie.
Added him to CC list

I started bisecting this. Had to move head several times due to build failures and runtime problems, but managed to find some more good commits.

$ git bisect log
git bisect start

Sorry, no qt stuff here, but I have rxvt-unicode with the same problem. So, it's not gtk specific.

# first bad commit: [5b14e06d8b42e2b08ebc52b6c314ef8647d87a1f] r600: work out shader export mask at shader build time (v1.1)

mesa-git from this commit on doesn't render TTF fonts anymore in openbox, gvim, libreoffice, rxvt-unicode and firefox / thunderbird gtk-interfaces .
qt programs don't appear to be affected.

Affected videocards :
Radeon 4650HD Pro
Radeon HD 4870 with AMD RV770 chipset

The first bad commit was submitted by Dave Airlie and reviewed by Roland Scheidegger

copy over export color mask

Would this patch help?
I think the r600 code forgot to copy over the export mask (at least the eg code does it).

Patch applied to trunk rev 411aa8c322f6703b20d32c7c263fd7ea8639cf3f cleanly and appears to solve all problems.

Pavel, can you or other sourcemage users with r600 cards also test ?

Confirmed, the patch works. Thank you all for quick solution.

Thanks for bisecting!
