"It's an endianness bug in the AIGLX GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
implementation." -- Michel Dänzer <email address hidden>

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=392453;msg=20>

fixed up stream (see debian bug)
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=3ad1642f1bbaa5f96558cdf338

this fixes it for me

the patch needs to be applied after 012_fedora_tfp_damage.patch

here is my build with the patch applied for people to test
http://tygier.co.uk/pub/xserver-xorg-core_1.1.1-0ubuntu12_powerpc.deb

sam, is it possible to get your source package?

Tested on iBook G4, works perfectly!

sam's package installed with gdebi from Epiphany.

All works fine now. Thanks.

effraie
i tried to make a tar.gz, but it was 200mb!?!

so use

apt-get source xorg-server
cd xorg-server-1.1.1/debian/patches/
wget http://librarian.launchpad.net/4923564/fix_glXDRIbindTexImage_for_32bpp_on_big_endian.patch
echo "fix_glXDRIbindTexImage_for_32bpp_on_big_endian.patch" >> series
cd ../..
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

ok.

For those who want to use beryl on mac PPC, patched xserver-xorg-core and beryl/emerald-0.1.1 are available on http://mental-ppc.tuxfamily.org/dists/dists/edgy-mppc/

effraie, nice. maybe add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BerylOnEdgy ?

I have been running my patched xorg-server package for nearly a month now. it seems very stable, ie no xorg crashes.

there are xorg crashes with compiz running, but these are presumebly compiz bugs.

could this be considered for edgy-updates?

Thank you for your bug report. As generic compiz as now been uploaded to Feisty (compiz-quinn is now known as beryl), we need to see if your bug is still present. If you can test the version of compiz in feisty (1:0.3.3-0ubuntu2~git2006112 or later) and tell us if you bug still exists, please do. Please make certain you are using Ubuntu's Xorg as well. We also require the make of your video card, to help debug driver issues. If you are using a newer ATI card (x1000 series or newer), please indicate so. To get this information, please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Compiz works fine. Bug solved.

Thanks, guys :¬D !

Bug no longer present, as per previous commenter. Thanks for your bug report.

jib, are you using feisty, or the patched xorg package for edgy?

this is not fixed in feisty (or at least not for me).

its a new version of xorg that is needed not compiz.

I'm using a patched version of Xorg.

Can anybody reproduce this bug with stock xorg and stock compiz on Feisty?

it was still doing it yesterday, on feisty.

according to
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg is at the same version in feisty as edgy

Reconfirming. Sam, I asked because the original reporter said he was using a non-standard xorg.

That should be fixed with that upload:

 xorg-server (1:1.1.1-0ubuntu13) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * 19_revert_xkb_change_breaking_XkbGetKeyboard.patch:
     - patch from fedora (with extra Makefile.in change), revert change that
       broke XkbGetKeyboard() (Ubuntu: #58083)
   * 37_Fix-__glXDRIbindTexImage-for-32-bpp-on-big-endian-platforms.diff:
     - upstream patch copied from the Debian package, fix blue screen with
       compiz on ppc (Ubuntu: #58373)

Marking fixed, feel free to reopen if that's not the case

I cannot test with feisty now, but this patch should be backported to edgy too

Reopening this to request edgy backport

The bug is fixed, no need to reopen to request a backport, use the left column "target to release" option for that, marking fixed again

I've marked the edgy backport declined, compiz is an universe package and non-supported, there is not that many user for it and probably only a few on powerpc, backporting fixes to stable is not trivial and can't be done for every minor bug, compiz users probably want to wait for feisty to get an usable version anyway

The bug is actually in xorg not compiz see debian bts

I've uploaded a fixed package, are you trying to write that I don't know what package I uploaded? That's an xorg bug right, is there anything else than composite managers triggering it though? That bug seems to be faced only by people trying to use compiz, not by people using the stock desktop
