[Bug 458545] Re: Cairo/Gdk shapes not visible on Intel gpu since Karmic

 

Kevin, thanks a lot for the usecase. This is really extremely useful! I
hope that Xorg people will take a look at it.

** Summary changed:

- Color boxes aside tag name not visible on Intel gpu
+ Cairo/Gdk shapes not visible on Intel gpu since Karmic

** Description changed:

- Is it possible to have a color box near each tag name in the left pane
- so that each tag can be easily identified with the corresponding
- background color in the task pane?
+ See the test case at comment #13.
+ 
+ In that test case, a simple python script using pygtk bindings is using
+ Cairo/Gdk to draw red squares in a Gtk widget.
+ 
+ This script is working for any Ubuntu version prior to 9.10.
+ In 9.10, this script is working for ATI and NVIDIA gpu or under Xnest. But with any Intel GPU, the square are not displayed (see screenshot in comment #14 )

** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  See the test case at comment #13.

+ 
+ This bug is pretty severe as it makes applications like GTG (and
+ probably others) unusable on a intel Karmic desktop.
