Title:
[i915gm] dual head: wrong character display -- font artefacts
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
Originally I posted the problem for emacs23
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/674488). But
the problem is not restricted to this program. It also happens e.g. in
OO and unison.
Since the update to Maverick Meerkat I got very strange characters in
emacs23 (see attachment). The characters are somehow shuffled into
each other. This happens if I fast move through a line. If I leave the
line or shortly switch to another window, all is fine again. For
emacs23 the problem depends on font settings. If I disable anti-
aliasing the problem disappears.
In OpenOffice (oowriter) there is a strange behaviour: comments are
agglomerated at the bottom while scrolling.
The problem arises only in dual head mode. When I turn of the laptop
screen and only use the external monitor, all is fine.
I could not use ubuntu-bug ($ ubuntu-bug xorg) to report this problem.
I got the error message: "Das Problem kann nicht gemeldet werden: Dies
ist kein echtes Ubuntu-Paket"...
