Description: I don't know if I should post this here or not
but whenever I set picom's backend to glx all my windows get
glitched, xrandr works properly but glx doesn't even render
windows, they are all just a background color and I can't
even switch workspaces on i3(at least I can't see them
changing, keyboard input is being read properly). This has
happened since I installed arch on my system(1-2 months ago)
, unrelated to new updates. I can confirm that glx used to
work as backend for me with this machine with other
distros.
Additional info: picom 8.2-1 CPU: intel i7-6700k GPU: nvidia gtx 970 I attached my glxinfo. Steps to reproduce: set glx as backend in picom.conf, open any window or try to change workspaces |

Actually, the problem I think is with glx, not picom. Glx doesnt
seem to work for me at all. I do have an openGL project that
doesn't work if I try to render something through glx libraries.
Thanks for reporting. Could this be a problem with the nvidia
drivers? Does it work if you use the proprietary Nvidia drivers
(or Nouveau, if you're currently using the Nvidia drivers)?
I'm using the proprietary ones. It doesn't work with the nouveau
drivers either. I don't know what it could be. The thing is, I
have a multiple boot system, I freshly installed an arch based
distro that uses the same packages and there everything works,
however even if I freshly install arch(I tried it 2-3 times) glx
never really works (at least with picom) as backend(I've had this
issue for quite some time). I always install the same packages on
every installation so I don't think I am missing installing
something.
Since this doesn't appear to be a driver specific problem, I'm not
sure what I can contribute here.
If it's not driver-related and not picom-related, could it be
i3-related? Does it work with ie. the Nvidia driver + Xfce4 +
Picom? Or Openbox?
I think the last mesa updates fixed it. I will be testing more but
for now everything seems to be fine. Probably it was the driver
after all even tho I tested with a different driver as well but at
that time it didnt work.
