Artifacts with nouveau
Hello, guys
I really love XFCE but recently had to ditch the proprietary Nvidia driver and switch to nouveau (I've got a pretty old GeForce 9500 GT and legacy drivers are not supported under new kernels). The only thing that bugs me now is that I see artifacts in window title bars.
Distribution: Void Linux (rolling distro). Fresh XFCE. Theme: arc-theme. No compositing.
Here is how it looks: http://0x0.st/ixst.png. Here is how it should look: http://0x0.st/ixsv.png
It can be seen from the very start of the system. Logging out and logging back in solves the issue for me.
I've also found some posts on your forums reporting the same problem: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54957#p54957 Where a user says he made a deep dive into the code of xfwm4 and it turns out that: "vblank_mode is actually VBLANK_XPRESENT at the first lauch and VBLANK_GLX on the second launch."
Not sure if it is related since the topic starter wrote about compositing... I don't use it. But still there are artifacts.
Sorry if it is already a duplicate. I just had to report this.
Thank you.
