compiz/beryl does not refresh content of windows

Bug Description

After the latest Feisty updates Beryl started behaving strangely: the 3D effects seem to work (rotating cube, zoom, transparency with scroll wheel, etc.) but the content of the windows (e.g. in terminals) does not get redrawn, unless I de-select and re-select the window.

I am using xgl and the ATI fglrx drivers, but I found the same bug with an NVidia card at:
http://bugs.beryl-project.org/ticket/1500

There they claim that its due to the latest libdrm2/libxrandr updates....

Hi giacomoi

Beryl isn't in Ubuntu, so we can track its bugs. If you want to get this fixed, you should report it upstream.

Best regards
Emilio

I'm having this same problem, but mine only started after restarting X after doing an upgrade. I have this problem with Compiz as well.

This is being caused by the xorg7.2 migration afaik... please bear with us until its finished.

Fixed for me as of today's update (I think the one for xserver-xorg-core).

Yes, AIGLX users should be happy now. XGL users however need motu-uvf to approve bug #87687. They are still affected.

Not for me. I still had the same problem, next to the new xcb_xlib.c bug that crashes beryl all-together (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libx11/+bug/87390).

But I did manage to get beryl to work using a patched version of the xserver-xgl package (obtained at http://buntudot.org/people/~jdong/xg...revu1_i386.deb)
(thank you jdong!!!)

Jdong's patch is described at:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...xgl/+bug/87687

and the way to get it to work is on the forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369738

I really hope this XGL patch makes it into Feisty!

At this point, this bug is resolved for AIGLX users but is an outstanding issue on Xgl, and a duplicate of 87687

I have the same issue here. AIGLX and Compiz, ati driver, graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon X700. Feisty Herd 4 out-of-the-box, with all the updates as of this writing.
