Bug#614296: xserver-xorg-video-intel: rendering corruptions, e. g. when browsing or with »2« and »4« in LXTerminal



Hi,

no worries. No need to check I'd say, it seems to be fixed on the
kernel side for me, as I noted in:
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662

But it might also need a few fixes which landed in master, and in
2.14.901 after that. If you want to give the latter a try, you could
try clone from:
  http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-intel.git

and build from the debian-unstable branch. That plus booting a
2.6.38rc6 (or higher) kernel should make the glyph issues go away.

The alternative could be to switch to both xorg-server 1.10 + intel
from experimental, probably together with 2.6.38rc* from experimental
as well. Why 2.14.901 isn't in sid was explained in the 4st bullet of:
  http://blog.ikibiki.org/2011/03/04/DXN-7/

Happy testing if you feel like it, or happy waiting (but I know how
badly those glyph corruptions look :/).

KiBi.
