text disappears in windows and menus

Hi,

I'm discovering and enjoying Slitaz 4 on my Asus S5N.

I am having a trouble that I can't handle with.

well randomly, suddently display goes weird,

things written deasapears in windows

PCmanfm is the most obvious since everything written disappears, icon still there. Pcmanfm is respong though.

closing pcmanfm and restarting it don't fix.

VLC windows gets empty ,no more button nor text, anyway music still works.

restarting VLC fixes its display.

desktop background is also affected(see screenshot in the link below)

thunar is not affected by this, everything still written (but I use it only when problem occurs already)

tazpanel also has troubled colors, restarting tazpanel recover regular colors.

also the mousse don't change its shape when it should like when resizing windows, restarting openbox doesn't fix.

best descritpion is in this screenshot (187 ko)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3478420/goingwrongDesktop_Pcmanfm-NOK_VLC-NOK_Tazpanel-nok_Thunar-OK.png

when restarting openbox menus gets better but not what's within the windows.

my feeling is that both openbox and "gtk" loose configurations.

reboot fix it always for 3min or 3hours.

on Slitaz Live it does the same without modifications.

Xorg uses Driver      "intel"

i915 module manages graphic

any idea or clue would be welcome.

en français aussi ça m'interresse si c'est plus simple pour vous.

Thanks

Xavier

Re: text disappears in windows and menus

Bonjour

Si j'étais dans une telle situation je ferais quelques tests pour essayer de savoir d'où vient le problème :

--> réinstallation de certains packages :

puis se loger en administrateur

$su

#tazpkg get-install slitaz-icon --forced

#tazpkg get-install slitaz-menus --forced

-> création d'un nouvel utilisateur -disons toto - se loger sous le compte toto et refaire les essais avec PCmanfm, VLC ..;

**** si tout fonctionne il faut remplacer tous les fichiers de configuration de l'utilsateur standard par ceux de toto

**** sinon, peut-être faut-il réinstaller Xorg : quitter X11 (Ctrl+F2) puis se loger en administrateur

$su

#tazx

et essayer un pilote qui fonctionne

En espérant que cela puisse t'aider.

Re: text disappears in windows and menus

Bonjour, merci pour les conseils

I have tried reinstallation and creation of a new user : it didn't work better just the same.

I have tried tazx (Ctrl+Alt+F2 , root/rootpassword, tazx)

when rebboting I had still "intel" driver loaded as Xorg log showed. (?)

anyway I manually modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf

found that "fbdev" driver and "vesa" driver could also startx (a desktop)

I had no enough time to check whether problem still occur, by the way it didn't get wrong in the 10min I ran each. still need longer test.

but VLC don't show video properly, it seems that OpenGL/Mesa is missing; there's no "mesa" package for vesa nor fbdev as I saw in tazpanel. (I saw that in the forum)

therefore I may not choose this solution wich is quit restrive.

googling got me there : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112749

I'm trying

Option "DRI" "false"

in

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf

i'll let know result of test on going

with default config I noticed this in the xorg log : Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration.

[    18.293] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

Re: text disappears in windows and menus

Hi

After have been searching Linux on Asus S5N, it seems you need the i810 module ; but as Mojo has sait on the forum

"Maybe it's worth trying the i740"

So if you try #tazpkg get-install xorg-xf86-video-i740 may be it will work
