--- Comment #6 from Fabio Coatti <fabio.coa...@gmail.com> --- I've played around a little bit, and the reason that causes compositing to be switched off seems to be unexpected results from glReadnPixels(x, y, 1, 1, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 4, data); that appears in kwinglutils.cpp, line 594 or so: static bool checkPixel(int x, int y, const QVector4D &expected, const char *file, int line) { uint8_t data[4]; glReadnPixels(x, y, 1, 1, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 4, data); const QVector4D pixel{data[0] / 255.f, data[1] / 255.f, data[2] / 255.f, data[3] / 255.f}; if (fuzzyCompare(pixel, expected)) return true; QMessageLogger(file, line, nullptr).warning() << "Pixel was" << pixel << "expected" << expected; return false; } With mesa17, I get this: (never mind the numbers after pixel2, it is my addition to the code for no real purpose :) ) feb 27 23:22:14 calvin kwin_x11[19991]: Pixel was QVector4D(0, 0, 0, 0.752941) expected QVector4D(0, 1, 0, 1) pixel2

across versions. Hoping to ease the process, I'll report the same data on mesa bug tracker. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
