comment:1 Changed 2 years ago by marmarek

If one activates KDE-specific menu to enter full screen mode on a VMapp window, Xorg in dom0 displays all white output; no way to restore sane behaviour.

comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by joanna

I tried it with the new 2.6.38 kernel and it still the same :(

This bug seems to manifest itself only if:
1) OpenGL composition is enabled for KDE in Dom0
2) Only for AppVM windows

Because of the #2 above, it seems something Qubes-related.

Still cannot reproduce - on nvidia (nouveau and nvidia driver), with and without composition enabled, for dom0 and AppVM windows - in every case worked for me...

This can be related to #256...

  • Milestone changed from Release 1 Beta 2 to Release 1 Beta 3

Lets move it to Beta 3 -- as we will likely be updating Xorg and KDE in Beta 3 this might just solve this problem. In the meantime, just don't use this fullscreen option on Intel GPUs ;)

I couldn't reproduce it for a really long time... This really seems to be Xorg/driver related and not Xen/Qubes?. I guess there are 1001 other bugs in Xorg/driver that can manifest from time to time on every system, and we need to live with them. Now, that we have implemented a recovery mechanism that allows GUID to reconnect after Xorg restart this isn't so much of a problem, as before.

In other words, I'm closing this ticket for now.
