Description:
Video distortions/noise when viewing in fullscreen mode. Additional info: Tested with multiple players Flash/bomi/VLC. Seems not to happen with the HTML5 player. (Just watched a few minutes on YouTube though - happened instantly when I turned off HTML5) Happens regardless of wether hardware acceleration is turned off or on in VLC/bomi Not having these issues with version 1:2.99.917+381+g5772556-1. Were introduced in version 1:2.99.917+472+gf0fd4d5-1 and persist in -1:2.99.917+478+gdf72bc5-2. Made a video with my phone, couldn't catch it with a screencast. Download it here [1] (15 MB) Steps to reproduce: Watch a video in fullscreen with Flash/bomi/VLC/(...) - not HTML5. E.g. this [2] did it in the first few seconds for me.

I am using SNA because there is screen tearing with UXA.
The version of the driver installed now is 1:2.99.917+519+g8229390-1 and the version of mesa installed is 11.1.0-1
The issue persists unfortunately.
Do I have to enable the testing repo system-wide to properly test wether the issue is still there?
I would prefer to not to.
The only package that matters is xf86-video-intel, other packages, regardless of the repo they're in, don't change anything (I'm using mesa-git). A few weeks ago I said in a forum thread that I will attempt a git bisect of the driver to find out where exactly between 381+g5772556 and 472+gf0fd4d5 the issue started, but well, real life(tm) got in the way. Someone should do a bisect though and then make a report upstream that mentions the offending commit.
Still using SNA and the newest version of the package from extra.
After watching a few minutes of video in different players it seems that indeed the bug is fixed.
All video players I tried still seem fine but when I turned hardware acceleration in Chromium back on and played a game running in the <canvas> on full screen
the same artifacts as in my original report appeared.
You may also want to test the new pkg in testing repo. DRI3 is now the default, you can fallback to DRI2 with a xorf.conf snippet
(some windows didn't redraw properly. A text editor which just shows changes every few seconds is extremely annoying)
This is my main machine and currently I don't have time for more elaborate testing.
