Hello, I did a routine upgrade on my up-to-date F9 x86_64 system with an ATI R500- based card. After the upgrade, using shared memory for OpenGL compositing with kwin leads to screen corruption. I have reverted to using textures from pixmap, but I'd like to figure out why shared memory fails. Here are the relevant packages: mesa-libOSMesa-devel-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-libGLU-devel-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-libGL-devel-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-libGLU-7.1-1.fc9 glx-utils-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-libGL-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-dri-drivers-7.1-1.fc9 mesa-libOSMesa-7.1-1.fc9 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.0-2.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19.fc9 kdebase-workspace-devel-4.1.1-1.fc9 kdelibs-devel-4.1.1-12.fc9 Is there a known problem with SHM compositing on 1.5.0? Downgrading to a previous version of mesa does not fix it. The only extra option I have in my xorg.conf for this card is AccelMathod EXA. As far as I can tell, the only relevant packages updated are xorg-x11-server-* from a pre-1.5.0 version and kdelibs. Should I prefer textures from pixmap (as opposed to shared memory) for compositing? My understanding is that SHM is faster but I am happy to stand corrected.
