My xorg configuration (based upon the one on thinkwiki.org)

I'm experiencing a problem with my gentoo box.
I'm on an IBM t40 with a radeon mobile 7500 ( R100 chip ) and kernel linux 2.6.34 ( I've 
switched from 2.6.32.. same result ) with KMS enabled ( with KMS disabled the problem 
disappear but I've others little problems with others software ( compiz, lightspark ) ) ,compiz 0.8.6 and mesa 7.8.2.
If I minimize/maximize the window or switch to another window the screen is updated correctly.
Someone from the software above suggest me it could be a driver bug.
I've found similar bug for scrolling problem but not for the input textbox.
Comment 1 Marco Albanese 2010-12-10 10:51:57 UTC 
Situation improved with latest driver (6.13.2).
Input textboxes are updated correctly now.
But I can't see the elements in a combox yet.

What's a 'combox'? I only know that term from a different context. :) Is that a new problem or was it already there when you made the original report? Can you capture this problem in a screenshot?

Do the problems also occur with other compositing and/or non-compositing window managers?

Please attach the full Xorg.0.log file as well.

Lol, sorry: it's a typo. I mean combobox. A screenshot seem unuseful to me: when I click on a combobox the drop-down menu doesn't appear.
IIRC it's not a new problem but, with the previous driver, the visualization (with firefox) was so messy that was difficult to isolate the single problems.

After switching to a non-composing window manager (from compiz to metacity) the problem doesn't occur.

As in no part of it is visible, and nothing else in its place either? If so, that sounds like something up to compiz / firefox rather than the X driver.

Still, it seems like this is a different problem from the input textbox one (which seems fixed) and should probably be tracked separately.

I'll fill a bug to compiz and firefox :)

You are right. This bug is fixed for me :)

Thank you for the answer
