Software: Arch Linux
Driver versions
* xf86-video-intel-2.99.[b]911[/b]-1-i686
* xf86-video-intel-2.99.[b]911[/b]-2-i686 (current)
produce display errors on <a href="http://www.faz.net/">http://www.faz.net/</a> (and <a href="https://www.ixquick.com">https://www.ixquick.com</a> ) in
Firefox (using a fresh profile results in same error) under KDE4, TWM, openbox
and LXDE. See article text screenshot
[url]<a href="http://i.imgur.com/xV4sxni.png[/url">http://i.imgur.com/xV4sxni.png[/url</a>]. Missing text lines, in the headlines
on hover, in the main text after load but more severe after scrolling a bit.
Everything else displays fine (images, firefox' GUI).
The error does also occur under another user account (with nearly standard
settings) in KDE4 (same computer). All packages up to date.
No errors with the older version xf86-video-intel-2.99.[b]910[/b]-1-i686 (to
which I have downgraded now). With this and the older versions I had no such
problems since months.
No errors in other programs like Chromium or Konqueror (but did not test that
much, Firefox is what I use often).
It seems to be similar to <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW --- - [uxa 915GM] Characters sometimes have horizontal lines through them (glyph font corruption)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=36326">bug #36326</a> but the effect is much more severe and
appeared only in the last weeks while it worked before.</pre>
