Starting compiz on a new Core 2 Duo system with a GMA X3000 (965G) graphics accelerator results in all open windows turning to solid gray squares and the background wallpaper turning solid brown (no idea why that color). The system does not lock, however, a Ctrl+C will return me to my desktop, and executing 'metacity --replace' gets me back to normal. Other OpenGL clients, including Xscreensaver GL hacks and the Really Slick Screensavers, work fine. No messages beyond those about an unsupported visual (normal AFAIK, happens on my 855GM laptop) and missing stencil support (also normal) are output by Compiz. X.org is 7.1.1 with the Fedora Rawhide AIGLX patchset (http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/compiz-on-aiglx), Mesa is CVS from 08/24, Compiz is git HEAD.
I setup compiz+aiglx on Q965 c0, the OS is Ubuntu Linux with kernel 2.6.15+Xorg 7.0. the problems what i met is the same as that Andrew met. all open window without any title words, menu words, only gray squares. glxgears can run well. I can move the window to the other side of the Cube. if disabale GL desktop, the desktop turn to its real appearence.
It is G965 platform, I type it wrong.
Just a note, the Metacity compositor is also broken. The screen goes black except for the mouse pointer until you turn it off.
With recent DRI updates to the i965 driver (I've been watching Mesa CVS) Compiz *almost* works. It actually does work properly, but there are thick black borders around the windows, as you can see here (http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/screenshots/brw_compiz.png). This appears, to my untrained eye, to be some kind of alpha channel/alpha blending error. This compiz is that 'quinn' fork so I don't know if that's the issue, or the particular theme that is used (although I tried a second one), but this looked like a driver bug so I thought I'd update this here.
I got the same windows with black borders on G965 with Ubuntu Edgy using aiglx+beryl. video playing has a issue, which is, if the video window is not the active window or there are other windows behind it, it will always wink. but minimize all the other windows, the video playing become normal.
I have seen it said that the shadow issue is a bug in Mesa: http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?pid=45649. This would make sense--since updating Mesa on my laptop I now see the solid shadow issue there as well (855GM GPU). Does anyone have any additional information about this?
FYI for anyone following this bug: It _should_ work with Xserver git HEAD and Mesa CVS but we are waiting on GLX 1.3 support in Xserver--currently the GLX_ext_texture_from_pixmap extension doesn't work so when you start Compiz you get a white screen.
I can confirm this bug.
I can confirm this bug using an Intel DG965WH motherboard and ubunty feisty fawn current
This should probably be closed...this has been working for me for quite some time now.
Reporter says the bug is fixed.
Mass version move, cvs -> git
