Bad Screen Artifacts - Oz/opie 3.5.3 On Sl-6000l
« on: July 05, 2005, 12:53:50 am »
Something is not apparently functioning properly with screen redraw using OZ/Opie 3.5.3 on SL-6000L. When an application window is dragged around the screen, small "artifacts", essentially thin yellow lines are left where the edges of the window once were. These ends up making the screen look messy and unreadable in areas where the artifacts remain.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a fix?

Thanks in advance.

We all are seeing this. Unfortunately we have no idea whether Qt/Embedded or the Kernel Framebuffer driver is to blame. We could need some help on that bug.

Mickey,

Thanks for clarifying this. At least I know I'm not alone now

I'm not a software developer, but can offer my help. Please let me know what would help push forward progress on this and I'll do my best to pitch in.

Cheers,
Randall.

Someone recently posted a fix to X-kdrive that was supposed to correct that problem. It would be a start if someone could inspect this fix and evaluate whether it can be applied to Qt/Embedded. Then again, it would even more help if we could find another kernel developer joining Dirk Opfer who is coordinating (and doing most of) the tosa/2.6 work.

Hello,

I am experiencing the same problem on my SL-6000L with OZ 3.5.3-opie.
Does someone have a fix for that in the meantime?

Cheers,
