        <pre>As reported on cairo graphics mailing list (here:
<a href="http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2014-September/025623.html">http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2014-September/025623.html</a> ), it
looks like that the accelerated line drawing is broken while drawing arcs with
cairo, and this is visible when the line width is way bigger than 1 pixel.
Using UXA the beginning of the arc is not straight, as shown here:
<a href="http://jidesk.net/sypy/strangearc2.jpg">http://jidesk.net/sypy/strangearc2.jpg</a>
Using SNA there is also a seaming issue as shown here:
<a href="http://jidesk.net/sypy/strangearc-bryce.png">http://jidesk.net/sypy/strangearc-bryce.png</a>

After consulting users on #cairo on FreeNode, the issue is confirmed, and they
suggested me to report here, since it looks like it is related to intel's X
acceleration on newer drivers. I am using a i5-3570K for graphics too, which is
an Ivy Bridge architecture, but I suppose that the problem affects Sandy Bridge
architectures also.

Unfortunally I am no programmer, so I am just supposing a lot of things
figuring out techno-babble I barely understand. I'm pretty sure that you could
find the source of this issue anyway, and eventually bounce back to cairo
developers if you find out that this is only a cairo related bug.

Thanks,
Maurizio</pre>
