Re: ICON problems

From memory, it was mostly about:

a. If you restart tint2, does it get fixed?
b. If you restart compositing, does it get fixed?

If a or b is true, apply some delay in .config/openbox/autostart to a or b.

For example

(sleep 9 && compton) &

Hello & welcome to the forums!

Thank you for your suggestion -- does the fix still work if "bl-tint2-session" is used with "sleep 3s"?

For users with Intel cards, the problem can be fixed by creating an xorg configuration file to switch the acceleration method from SNA to UXA

sudo -i
mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf << "EOF"
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection
EOF
exit

Re: ICON problems

This did the trick for me. Since I was already on UXA.
Link to thread link

Just to clearify something. The reason why it didn't help to change accelmethod to UXA, is because you already are using UXA. Some are wrongly believing that SNA is the default in Jessie. IT'S NOT. As you can see here, from my fresh Bunsen Install:

tweak@tweak:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -ie uxa -ie sna
[     7.095] (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:
tweak@tweak:~$

Here you see that Bunsen is using UXA by default. Test yourself. Open a terminal window:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -ie uxa -ie sna

Therefore, AS ROOT create the file "etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf"

should look like this:

###20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna" # Use this for new intel hdgraphics
#   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa" # Use this for old intel graphics
EndSection

Then logout and back in, or reboot, and you'll be fine.

This is a much better solution than messing with the sleep settings, because if you restart tint2 after changes, the white pixels in the corners will reappear, and you will have to restart compositing again.

You guys see? Changing to UXA won't help, because UXA is what you already are using. You have to change to SNA.
