Good morning,

i just tried the new Xorg from testing and it breaks the KDE4 system tray. No icons are shown, even when i remove/add the systray applet, so its not the same as the recent systray breakage in KDE (Bug 168007) ...

Recompiling against the new stuff doesnt solve this issue, but downgrading does...

Here are the packages i used:

inputproto 1.4.4
libdrm 2.3.1
libgl 7.1
intel-dri 7.1
libxau 1.0.4
xcb-proto 1.2
libxcb 1.1.90.1
libx11 1.1.5
libxklavier 3.7
mesa 7.1
pixman 0.11.8 (also tried with 0.11.10, but that gives some generic funky rendering errors)
libpciaccess 0.10.3
xf86-video-intel 2.4.2
xorg-server 1.5.0

Do you have a MigrationHeuristic option in xorg.conf to "speed up" intel EXA? Removing that option should solve your problem.

I cannot reproduce this with KDE from [extra]. I have an intel, too. (well, only downside I noticed is that new xorg+intel+kde is slow as hell)

Thanks guys, the MigrationHeuristic stuff was the cause.

I just removed these lines in xorg.conf and now it works properly:

Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"

Speed is ok for me (965), even with exa which was dog-slow before.

Problem solved, you can close this one :)
