Hi,

Also I run into the window redraw problems after upgrading some X components. I have seen many threads about this but unfortunately no one could solve my issues.

Problem description:
This is the second time I see this problems. The first time a simple reemerge of xorg-server fixed it. But one week later I run again into this. Now reemrging xorg-server doesn't help any more. Also this time the redraw problem behaves slightly different than the first time. All windows are drawn well except the following:
konsole - this window isn't redrawn at all.
kopete - this window works except scrolling
kicker - New application windows aren't shown into the taskbar and closed windows stay in there. Also the highlightning of icons (onMouseOver) doesn't work
Desktop - no icons shown there
kontact - This window works for a couple of times. After reading some mails the redraw problem comes up and and the window isn't redrawn any more.

My setup:
beryl-0.2.1 with xorg-x11-7.2 using aiglx with video driver radeon (r300) on ppc

What I tried so far:
reemerged the following packages
Code:
xorg-server
randrproto
libXrandr
mesa
libXfixes
libXdamage
libXcomposite
- I also tried reemergin some other X-libs but none of them fixed the problem

- Als I tried installing version 1.2.x as well as version 1.3.0.0 of xorg-server
- I masked libXrandr-1.2.1 as suggested in the corresponding bug report.
- Recompiled beryl, beryl-plugins, beryl-core, emerald
- I disabled ccache while recompiling these packages.
- Tried compiz. It shows exactly the same behaviour

Side notes:
I also switched from the kde-meta packages to the big kde packages at the same time the problems came up. I don't think that it has something to do with it but probably someone knows better...
No errors in Xorg.0.log.
No errors during beryl start.

No I am running out of ideas. Does anyone have any ideas what I could try next?

Are you running nvidia-drivers? It's a well-known bug. If you have too many windows open, every other window will be drawn black, due to lack of video-ram.

No.... No NVidia. I have an ATI Radeon 9200 with r300 drivers and aiglx.

Have you tried using different drivers?
Maybe this page will help. Perhaps you'll need to install Xgl in order to have 3d desktop efects work properly.

Hmmm... I had beryl running perfectly before the last updates. So I'm sure I have the right drivers.

There must be something to recompile but I just can't figure it out.

OK. I've done a
Code:
emerge -e world
during the last days. Now everything seems to be ok again except the run command dialog. I can't see what I'm typing into the edit-box.

EDIT: After rebooting I have to load kwin and then again beryl. Otherwise the desktop doesn't show any icons. There are also problems with konquerors address-field where the dropdown menu comes up but nothing is in there.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Are there any other packages that could break a dependency?
Please help!
