Hi. Certainly I didn't give much detail, I only want to know if anyone else has been having issues (As I compile from git I assume that there can be issues sometimes so I think that this mail list could be a good place for ask about).
I'm using opengl, in a i7 laptop with intel+nvidia (nouveau). I compile E directly from git, this issue began 2-3 days ago, when I update the system. Currently my E version is 0.24.99.24339, Kernel 5.9.11, Efl also from git, commit b59b60502122b505d20e91ed4dbddcee3abc9ce5, and Xorg 1.20.8 The first thing that caught my attention was that pager wasn't rendering my desktop background, only the windows (i can attach a image showing the lack of the desktop background image at pager). Perhaps an evas related problem? Also I can attach meson_options from both enlightenment and efl if that helps or any other thing/test/whatever p.s. Wow, rasterman? Let me say I'm amazed, I admire your work since my first contact with E16, 20 years ago aprox. Great job. === In soft we trust === 29 de noviembre de 2020 13:44, "Carsten Haitzler" <[email protected]> escribió: > On Sun, 29 Nov 2020 11:09:30 +0000 juanma1980--- via enlightenment-users > <[email protected]> said: > >> Hi all.
