Description Elmo R 2010-11-24 07:23:15 UTC
When selecting certain menus (i.e.: in OpenOffice) or dialog boxes (in java applications) the window itself becomes black. The only thing visible is the window decoration. Closing and reopening the window or menu a couple of times, may help bring it back. In xsession-errors the following is listed:

Mesa 7.8.1 implementation error: bad target in _mesa_select_tex_object()
Please report at bugzilla.freedesktop.org
kwin(4051) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ):  "GL_INVALID_OPERATION" 

Further, when I exit X11 and re-enter X11 (KDE in Fedora 13) I have to "turn off" a disabled compiz, and re-enable compiz in order for the window decoration to stop flickering to black. If I completely turn off Compiz I still get the following weirdness.

The following video is an example of flickering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd2Qk0YP76o

I have compiled my own kernel (using the same .config as standard fedora distro) to take advantage of any modifications or bug fixes in DRI or KMS to no avail.
