Description: Severe font corruption after hibernation with xf86-video-intel 2.7.1-1 and rest of the system up to date. It makes the system unusable, and so renders the whole hibernation idea useless. Not that it helps, but it can be seen here: http://www.bljak.org/~anrxc/images/intel-font-corruption.png

Did not happen with previous 2.6.x series.

With this, and constant freezes as reported in other tasks it makes you wonder how this broken piece of software ever entered [extra]. It's also reproducible with xf86-video-intel-git and I'm concerned we will have yet another broken driver release.


Additional info:
* intel-dri 7.4.2-1, libdrm 2.4.11-2, xf86-video-intel 2.7.1-1 ...
* Intel GMA965, X3100
* no logs, errors, or anything of the kind.


Steps to reproduce: $ sudo pm-hibernate
This task depends upon

Is this with or without KMS?

Edit: you might want to file this upstream, because I can't reproduce it, and I can't fix it either.

It is with UXA and no KMS (which brings even more corruption).

Edit: I probably should, but their bugzilla is intimidating with gazillions of bugs... and I don't have even a little bit of confidence in it, because of all these bugs we have right now, which were reported millions of times yet are still present.

I confirm this and it is not caused directly by hibernation. I had little RAM and after a few hours of working with the computer, the fonts just began to screw up. Somehow it must be joined with paging. After doubling my memory, I can see it no more.

Possible, however I haven't seen it since I installed an xf86-video-intel git snapshot somewhere around 2.7.99.901 release and switching to Linux 2.6.30. I suspend and/or hibernate every day.

Is this still an issue with kernel 2.6.30 and xf86-video-intel from testing?

I didn't see it in quite a while, using xf86-video-intel-2.7.99.902 now. I wouldn't be surprised it it re-emerges in some close future, as the one who opened this task I have no problem with closure. I will take it to the bugzilla next time.
