is desktop acceleration activated? Aha! glx was enabled, disabling it (and possibly also extmod) in X.org fixed the plasma problem. Tested in beta1 aka 4.0.80, which I've meantime installed. Upon further experimentation I've ended up with glx enabled and extmod disabled. While this results in a slow desktop, at least it works. I will now try to determine which extmod extensions are usable. Narrowed the problem down the extmod extension "shape" in X.org. Omitting shape, with everything else from extmod loaded, yields a working plasma panel. I hope this makes sense to the developers. so it's again jou with argb visuals so probably it's an X/video drivers bug, don't know if there is much we can do Forgot to reply, sorry. I've since successfully installed KDE 4.1 betas/snapshots in a VirtualBox VM - without any X.org trickery - so I think you're right about the bug being in an X.org video driver. Since the bug appears not to be in KDE after all, I'll close it. |
