scrolling in windows makes content weired

Could you provide a screenshot.

I too have a Toshiba R100 with the XP4m32 Trident graphics chip, I'm getting the same problem with scrolling. It seems ok when scrolling down a list or page but when scrolling up it doesn't update properly. Things get worse when I drag a window, the whole pane gets broken up in diagonal colours corresponding to the window theme. I've included some screenshots.

I have the same problem with my Portege R100

After a few emails I discovered that there is a bug in the version of the Trident drivers that ship with Ubuntu and a fixed version is available (thanks to Alan Hourihane) from the following url...

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/xf86-video-trident-1.2.3.tar.bz2
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/xf86-video-trident-1.2.3.tar.gz

I am however having trouble installing these so can't say if they fix the fault or not, I've installed the build-essential package but when I run the ./configure command I get the following config.log file - not sure where to go next.

Anyone offer some guidance?

I downloaded the bz2 archive and compiled it.
This driver version works and the display is OK, even when moving windows.

apt-get install xorg-dev
apt-get build-dep xorg-drivers
tar xjf xf86-video-trident-1.2.3.tar.bz2
cd video-trident-1.2.3
./configure
make
make DESTDIR=/tmp/xorg_ install
# Backup old driver
sudo mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/trident_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/trident_drv.so.bak
# Install new one
cd /tmp/xorg_/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
sudo mv * /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Restart X and your're set.

attached is my compiled version, edgy eft, xorg 7.1, x86

Hi Stefan,

looks good - glad you got it working. I ran into a problem though
after I ran the line

apt-get build-dep xorg-drivers

I get

megsona@R100:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-drivers
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for xorg-drivers

I can't see any packages called xorg-drivers in synaptic either, am I
missing something?

Thanks,

Alan

Stefan,

when you say you ran the line

apt-get build-dep xorg-drivers

did you mean...

xorg-driver-fglrx
xorg-driver-fglrx-dev

these are the only packages I can see that have a similar name. I know
it says theay are for ATI cards but I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks again,

Alan

My fault:

apt-get build-dep xorg-server

should do the trick ...

As I read your mail I've managed to get it working!

I skipped the build-dep line and ran sudo make install which produced
the .so file. I swapped it out and restarted X and all is well.
Almost, I don't seem to be able to play video but I'll look into that.

Is build-dep xorg-server an essential step?

Thanks for your help by the way, I'll update launchpad when I've
straightened out what I did.
