Description Dima Ryazanov 2006-09-20 14:21:40 UTC

I'm using a Radeon 7000 video card. I've always had little rendering problems 
with Xorg - in KDE, OpenOffice, wine, etc:

1) Dragging icons on KDE's desktop often leaves traces. (There's a KDE bug: 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84737. It mentions some PE_FocusRect 
code...)
2) When running Wine in an emulated desktop mode, dragging windows leaves 
traces, too.
3) In OpenOffice, the letter "r" is drawn incorrectly for certain font sizes. 
(Also, the Cyrillic letter "г" has the same problem - which is pretty 
interesting, since they have almost the same shape.)

I will attach screenshots.

I tried using EXA. All of the above problems were fixed... But new ones 
appeared. So I can't decide what to use.

First of all, please don't mix several issues into a single report. Also, please
attach full config and log files for all cases.

Does this also happen with

Option "XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine"
Option "XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine"

?

> 3) In OpenOffice, the letter "r" is drawn incorrectly for certain font sizes. 

See bug 1424.

Comment 6 Dima Ryazanov 2006-09-22 13:18:51 UTC

Nice, the "XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine" and "XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine" options 
fixed dragging icons and (almost) fixed Wine. (That is, Wine still has some 
problems - but they also appear with EXA and without acceleration at all.)

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Comment 12 Alex Deucher 2007-10-11 09:09:18 UTC

Is this still an issue with the latest driver from ati git?

Comment 13 Dima Ryazanov 2007-10-12 22:54:30 UTC

Yep... Same issues.
(I tried wine and OpenOffice - KDE is not using PE_FocusRect anymore.)

Comment 14 Daniel Stone 2009-08-31 18:14:39 UTC

dropping as a release blocker since exa has been the default for quite some time now.

Comment 15 Corbin Simpson 2010-03-26 18:34:31 UTC

Closing as WONTFIX; XAA is too far gone these days. If EXA does not work, file a new bug or attach yourself to an existing bug matching your issues.
