Description Nicholas Skehin 2004-08-27 04:55:53 UTC
With xcompmgr running, XChat 2.4.0 seems very buggy in terms of display. The
text is opaque with my selected background colour, while what should be my
background color is totally transparent (see attachment).

Mozilla Firefox also seems quite buggy as well - scrolling seems to mess up the
text in the window totally. However, I cannot acquire a screenshot of this, as
changing windows fixes the problem.

I'm using the ATI closed-source fglrx drivers. I will attach my xorg.conf.

Could you retest with current CVS?  While this doesn't look exactly like bugs
fixed recently, it could be related.  Thanks!
Comment 5 Nicholas Skehin 2004-08-28 02:18:51 UTC
I updated my CVS last night and it doesn't seem to fix anything. I'm going to
test with the vesa and radeon drivers and see if I have issues with them.
Comment 6 Nicholas Skehin 2004-08-28 08:11:11 UTC
XChat2 and Mozilla Firefox work fine with the generic Radeon drivers and
Composite - it would seem to be a bug with the fglrx closed source drivers.

Comment 7 Erik Andren 2006-04-25 07:28:15 UTC
Any improvements using a more current version of the fglrx driver?
Comment 8 Erik Andren 2006-05-21 01:39:20 UTC
Ping!
Comment 9 Daniel Stone 2007-02-27 01:23:57 UTC
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 10 Jerome Glisse 2009-06-30 07:10:45 UTC
We don't fix fglrx report elsewhere.
