Description Henry Ludemann 2006-12-02 02:31:16 UTC 
(copied from cache of the beryl bug. Apologies if this is the wrong place to
report the bug.)

When a window is maximized horizontally, window decorations turn white.

    * Bug appears on a laptop with ATI Radeon M7 (open source driver).
    * But does not appear on a workstation with NVidia card. 

Changing
    Option "AccelMethod?" "EXA"
to
    Option "AccelMethod?" "XAA"
in the Section "Device" solved the problem for me.

Sorry, I didn't test it enough. Changing to XAA didn't work for me (I was going
off the comments). Changing status to INVALID.

Sometimes it is due to too large textures, usualy when one
size becomes larger than 1024 pixels. As your screenshot is
exactly 1024 pixels, I wonder if it is this but you can try.

try this in /etc/drirc :

<driconf>
    <device screen="0" driver="radeon">
        <application name="all">
            <option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" />
        </application>
    </device>
</driconf>

Yep, that did the trick. So it's using textures that are too large...

Thanks for your help.
