Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-omap3

The xserver-xorg-video-omap3 package is included in the omap3-x11 pack and utilized as it's display driver for both beagle and beagle Xm systems.

When using this driver, it was noticed and reported in bugs 760174, 760137 that something isn't right with the drive for the beagle and beagle Xm.

This issue can be witnessed in both the linaro-n-ubuntu-desktop image as well as the linaro-n-alip image. In either case the effects witnessed are slightly different.

in the case of the ubuntu-desktop image, it is utilizing the unity2d environment. The icons that should show up on the left of the screen are not displayed tho they are there. Logging out to the log in panel will also display misrendering.

In ALIP it's even more evident. Bug 760174 has a screenshot.

Tested with latest omapfb available (http://gitweb.pingu.fi/?p=xf86-video-omapfb.git;a=summary) and was still able to reproduce the issue. While testing with Unity-2d the behavior is weird, as at the first moment the display is fine, but then it seems that the Unity-2d is redraw and then the error appears.

Once you remove the xserver-xorg-video-omap3 package (using omapfb) it all works fine.

Fathi, should we remove the xserver-xorg-video-omap3 package from omap3-x11-base hwpack until this bug is fixed? The user will end up with a broken xserver when using the omap3 x11 driver.

Somewhat related to this, should there really be two omap3 hwpacks? Why not just have one and include the best choice in drivers?

Also agree on the removal of xserver-xorg-video-omap3 until fixed.
