Bug#587824: kde-window-manager: After safe-upgrade all windows blank with OpenGL compositing turned on
Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.4.4-1
Severity: normal
I upgraded my box on Tuesday with whatever was due in safe-upgrade testing.
Previously OpenGL compositing worked perfectly well with the AMD fglrx driver.
Since the upgrade I can only run KDE4 with window compositing turned off, to
xrender or with the radeonhd xorg driver.
Other OpenGl applications seem to function correctly. I'm guessing it's an
interaction between the OpenGL bits of the fglrx driver and KDW4's window
manager that is causing the problem, but I'm not sure what.
If I turn compsiting on with OpenGL the pop to confirm window is blank, so if
you wait the 15 seconds it reverts back to xrender.
Because xrender with fglrx and the radeonhd driver in any mode is too slow,
I've turned compositing off at the moment. I can still run other OpenGL apps
with out a problem under KDE4, glxgears is perfecly happy.

BTW, X crashes horribly without the BusID line.
This may be the same as bug #573080, but from the desription I'm not sure if it
is the same problem.
