I recently started to use my venerable Thinkpad X30 (graphic chipset recognized as i830M by the `intel' driver) as a desktop machine, connected to a 1600x1200 display. It mostly works fine except for 2 problems: 1 - Very minor: the VGA output can only go through pipe 0, but at startup, if the external monitor is not connected, Xorg chooses pipe 0 for LVDS, so that `xrandr --auto' complains that it can't find a crtc for the VGA. I can work around it via "xrandr --output LVDS --crtc 1" followed by "xrandr --auto", but ideally `xrandr' should be able to figure that out on its own. 2 - Some of the redraws are mixed up. I mostly notice it in Firefox where everytime it receives/loses focus (i.e. often with my focus-follows-mouse window-manager), some text gets redrawn but elsewhere, so I have patches of blanks where some text is supposed to be displayed (a few words or a complete line might be missing), and I also have text written at incorrect places. Also probably related, some pixmaps gets garbled everyone in a while, afterwhich they tend to stay garbled (forcing a redisplay doesn't help). Those pixmaps may be things like firefox background images, or my window manager's tiled background, or buttons in xpdf, ... presumably pixmaps stored in the Xserver's video memory. I cannot correlate those problems with any particular change, because I hadn't used this machine in a fairly long while. The only thing that comes to my mind is that I added "Virtual 2048 2048" to my xorg.conf's display subsection in order to accomodate the external display.

Please file a separate bug for the first problem. Please attach xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log, according to http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html.
Let's track the second problem (Some of the redraws are mixed up) here. cworth will take this.
I have the same on a HP Omnibook XE3 using i830M. Formerly I used the i810 driver which worked fine - but since upgrading to Ubuntu Intrepid the intel driver is used which has these nasty screen corruptions.
BTW: I have also an external monitor in use.
Garbage with redrawing also happens on 855GM with EXA enabled and 2.5.99.1. See attachement for example

Same here, disappears with "Option" "AccelMethod" "XAA".

I can additionally confirm this bug on a Thinkpad X30 under the Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope alpha. I also seem to remember that long ago when I installed SuSE 10.something on this same machine, I had to manually force it to use the "i810" driver instead of the "intel" driver, otherwise Something Bad Happened (but it's been long enough that I don't recall what). For me, this occurs even without an xorg.conf file - that is, using the default options. Additionally, I am also seeing something very much like bug #18319 on this system, with the note that I don't know that I'm seeing the "static" they describe. As yet I have not managed to find anything at all that looks noteworthy in a log file, so I'm not quite sure what additional information I can post.
Created attachment 24241 [details] Xorg log, Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller I have this problem as well and it makes Firefox nearly unusable. It happened when I upgraded from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10. I'm using 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller.
(In reply to comment #9) > Same here, disappears with "Option" "AccelMethod" "XAA". > I can confirm that setting this option also cures the problem for me using the 82865G. Thanks.
A lot of with EXA and UXA with i830 graphics. 2.7 driver version, 2.6.29 kernel. Draws nornmal with XXA, but it's imposible to use it with KMS.
As i know XAA and EXA was droped from 2.8 driver, so it's imossible to use this driver wirth i830 video. Is there any progress in solving this problem?
The original reporter of the bug is monnier@iro.umontreal.ca, so my first comment is directed there: Which version of the driver were you originally using when you saw this bug? And have you tried any newer version since then? If so, is the bug still present? I'll wait to hear more information from you, and if we don't hear back we'll close this bug report assuming things were fixed. For everyone else that has commented on this bug, (LCID Fire, Lukasz Jernas, Ben. E. Hard, Gordon Schumacher, William Hanlon, and Vlad): I very much want to help resolve your bugs, but we're going to have to do that in separate bug reports. The nature of our graphics chips and drivers is such that the various chipsets discussed here, (i830, i865, i945) all have very different hardware and different software. So even when bugs seem the same from the description, they often have different causes so we need to track and resolve the bugs independently. If each of you that are still having problems with version 2.8 of the driver could please open your own bug report for that with a description of the chipset you've got, the buggy behavior you're seeing, and how to reproduce it. Then I will greatly appreciate that. I am sorry for the extra bit of work this causes, but this is really the best way to ensure we can get everybody's bugs resolved. Thanks, -Carl
As i was writing, i had 2.6.29 kernel and 2.7 intel driver. It drawed garbage in EXA or UXA acceleration modes. So, only XAA was workable for me. Today i have 2.6.31-rc4 kernel and 2.7 driver and it has garbage even in XAA, but maybe it doesn't work(i will check it later) and now i'm using vesa driver. I will try to compile 2.8 driver later and write results. Do u need any additional information?
I have updated my Fedora to rawhide, so i could test latest software. And there is a good news for me- garbage has gone! Picture is clear. UXA works. But there are new bugs: 1. When X-server starts without KMS enabled the monitor is black, this is like it is witout power at all, but computer works! I can shutdown it normaly. 2. With KMS monitor is OK, but there is a some bug in picture- it seems to be some cycling shifted to the right. For example: last par of my clock(that located in booton left corner) appears in right bootom corner. It can be fixed by switching to tty1(shft+ctrl+f1) and back! After this image on monitor is perfect! 3. Also i think, that xv doesn't work. "[VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available." - mplayer sad. This is versions of software, that i used: kernel 2.6.31-0.125.rc5.git2.fc12 xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.8.0-3.fc12 xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.6.99-27.20090804.fc12
#2 has gone with last update.
