Since KMS has been enabled, most of the translucent/darkened/transparent
windows look pink in KDE4.

The only way to avoid this issue seems to be completely disabling
compositing; oddly enough, konsole's windows aren't affected (pls. see
attached screenshots).

Furthermore, a 1px high white stripe on the lower edge of the screen
appears since the radeon module gets loaded and remains until power off,
but this should probably be the subject of a further bug report.


Thanks

Any chance you try with a normal Debian kernel and without all these
hundreds of options on your kernel boot command line?

thanks,

I already tested a clean setup in the past; tried again today: booted
with current 2.6.32-5-686 stock Debian kernel, with no options, and made
Xorg start _without_ any xorg.conf.

Again, a 1px horizontal white stripe on the bottom of the screen
appeared as soon as the radeondrmfb module got loaded; after entering a
KDE session, activating the translucency effect produced as usual pink
tinted translucent windows.

But I recently made an interesting find: translucency in compiz fusion
(in KDE, by previously disabling plasma desktop effects) works
perfectly, and also gives the overall impression of a fairly better
responding graphics. What's so different there?

Thanks

Hi

Same hardware here :
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

Same issues :
- 1px white line at the botton of the screen as soon as the module is loaded
- tinted transluency is pink (when effects/composite are enabled on KDE)

But I also noticed this additional issue :
- When i disable effects in KDE, the title bar & border of the windows is
missing, or corrupted, and not refreshed (see screenshot with konsole). Should
I file another bug for this one ?

I noticed that whenever I disable KMS none of the three issues stated above
appear.

That's the way I disabled radeon KMS:
- comment out the following line of /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
    options radeon modeset=1

- add one of these parameter to the kernel boot options (in grub)
    radeon.modeset=0
or
    nomodeset

BTW, does the pink translucency happen with the OpenGL and/or XRender
backend for KDE compositing?

If there isn't one already, yes.

reassign 580980 libgl1-mesa-dri
kthxbye

That's most likely a bug in radeon_dri.so from the libgl1-mesa-dri
package then, reassigning.

The white line may or may not be related.

OpenGL backend) but it doesn't look like with Xrender either.

NB : 1px white line is displayed both in console & X

in xorg.conf I added these lines

Section "Device"
        Option     "RenderAccel"                "off"

        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "radeon"

        BoardName   "Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


In Xorg.0.log I can see

Possibly two separate bugs then, one in the X driver's RENDER
acceleration code and one in the Mesa radeon driver.

Yet another bug in the kernel then. Is it using the laptop panel's
native resolution?

Just to clean any doubt, by saying "it doesn't look like with Xrender either."
I meant that translucency is always fine with XRender engine (whether
RenderAccel is on or off)

Yes, with the native resolution (1400x1050)
