Description:
xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+684+g6988b87-1 from [testing] makes a dual display setup running XFCE and compton unusable. Setup is a Dell Latitude laptop (Ivy Bridge) with an external monitor connected via docking station + DVI. Docking the laptop or enabling the external display makes the right half of the external display turn black (mouse cursor is shown if moved across it, but nothing else). Undocking or disabling the external display causes all screen content on the laptop display to move halfway up the screen, so that the bottom half of the screen is left blank. Downgrading to 1-2.99.917+676+g26f8ab5-1 in [extra] solves the problem. Killing compton is also a workaround. Additional info: * package version(s) xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+676+g26f8ab5-1 xfwm4 4.12.3-2 compton 0.1_beta2.5-3 (also tested with compton-git from AUR) * config and/or log files etc. compton is started with "--backend glx --vsync opengl-swc --detect-client-opacity", no config file. Steps to reproduce: Connect/disconnect the external display. |

I was also able to reproduce the shifted content on the laptop display (though not the black area on the external display) with the modesetting driver. So now I'm not really sure what part of the stack the bug is in; possibly in compton itself.
