I also see this but not all the time. Some times it shows at full screen but about 25% of the time it just appears as 1/4 of the (first) screen. This happens even within the same session. I am using a recent svn version. AMD64 and nvidia 173.14.09. Am Dienstag, 1. Juli 2008 schrieb Mike: > his happens even within the same session.

Could it be an nVidia problem since it's the first time I have been able to use the openGL screen savers on KDE 4.1? It's not all the time though, like you pointed out. I had fullscreen one time (for the first time) today :) *** Bug 167210 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have the same problem. My system is a Dell XPS M1210 with nVidia graphics card This doesn't affect *all* the OpenGL screensavers on my machine. Working OK: --Gravity --KPendulum --KRotation Note that both Particle Fountain & Bitmap Flag use same upper left quarter of screen, but the rest of the screen is black, not white. This machine is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (x84_64), with an Nvidia 8600 GTS using the nvidia driver 173.14.12. X.org version 1.4.0.90 (10400090). Linux 2.6.25.11-0.1-default, KDE 4.1 from Suse rpms. On a hunch, I took "nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1" out of my ~/.xinitrc, but it didn't have any effect on this bug. I can confirm that turning off kwin's effects fixes the problem. After a lot of futzing around, I have determined that this bug is intermittent. There are some combinations of enabled kwin effects (always different) where the screensavers work OK, sometimes. For example, with nothing but the cover switcher on, and repeatedly testing the Euphoria screensaver, it fails about 25% of the time. Seems to be bug 165552, which has a patch. ..but the patch seems to be incorrect, by the author's own admission. So you might as well add it as a dupe of this one. Still seing this on 4.2 Beta 1 running on Kubuntu.. Seems to me that the resource-intensive screensavers are the ones who fail to display properly, and more often then not when the cpu(s) is under load. Nvidia 8800 gts here, Intel core 2 duo, running 64bit |
