It prevents the package (or a dependent one) from functioning correctly at all.

A workaround for this bug should be in Xorg-1.15.1. The underlying bug in mesa still remains at large though.

@Chris Do you think we can release with the patch in the package? I'd consider this a release blocker to be honest since it renders KDE pretty much unusable on Intel cards.

Yes, the patch is pretty innocuous and has had many people succesfsully test it.

For reference, the patch in question is:

commit eec04d76a39a7334de4e00ef9f0f6e44c92b3d91
Author: Eric Anholt <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Mar 6 18:50:07 2014 -0800

glx: Clear new FBConfig attributes to 0 by default.

    The visualSelectGroup wasn't getting set (since our DRI drivers don't
    use it), and and since it's the top priority in the sort order, you
    got random sorting of your visuals unless malloc really returned you
    new memory. This manifested as Xephyr -glamor rendering to a
    multisampled window on my system, which as you might guess was
    slightly lower performance than expected.

gpodder artifact Kubuntu 14.04 beta2 Edit (27.7 KiB, image/png)

Maybe I missed something here but it's unfortunately not fixing my compositing issues with Kubuntu. I got Kwin to crash twice and noticed one artifact (there's progress already since I got many before) - Please see attached.

$ dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel

I think you should reset kwin to default settings. This is what I did:

1) Update system
2) Log out and ctrl+alt+f1 and log in
3) sudo service lightdm stop
4) rm ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
5) sudo reboot

Thanks, Nikola. I followed your recommendation and it does look better now. I'll be trying to test things more today and will report back here.

After spending several hours back with compositing I'm glad to report all artifact issues seem to be fixed! Many thanks.

I can confirm this is fixed on my system as well. Marking as fixed.
