[Bug 428900] Re: Opengl is unstable with cairo-dock drmWaitVBlank returned -1

 

Hello,
I'm part of the Cairo-Dock team and I also have some troubles using Cairo-Dock (installed with packages from ppa weekly) in opengl on my eeepc701 on karmic alpha6 :
Some icons (Analogic Clock, Slider, System Monitor, Wifi) are invisibles when they are placed IN the dock (no trouble when they are on a desklet mode ) !
I don't see any message like those of Taiebot65 in the terminal.
Fabounet (the main Cairo-Dock dev) thinks that there is maybe a problem with the 'pbuffers' support in these Intel drivers.
You can test Cairo-Dock easily with our ppa-weekly : https://edge.launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/weekly

Thanks

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have been testing cairo-dock for quite a while now and the opengl as always been unstable for me.
 When i was testing Jaunty, in alpha 6 i managed to get a full working dock in opengl mode for 2 days since then it never worked fully again.
I am back in Karmic to test the drivers and hopefully fix this unstable opengl.

I am using xorg edgers and i have noticed a great amelioration but OPengl version failed because after some use the background turn to white.

I think it s related to this debug 

 do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.

I am attaching a video of the problem..
