Priority: medium Bug ID: 80050 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: [855GM] Incorrect drop shadow color under windows in Cinnamon persists with MESA 10.1. Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: rkmugen.linux@gmail.com Hardware: x86 (IA32) Status: NEW Version: 10.1 Component: Drivers/DRI/i830 Product: Mesa
I wasn't sure if I should've just edited my previous bug post #72819 since the problem persists with a newer version of MESA. But as the subject heading reads, that's exactly what happens.
I was testing Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon edition with the same video hardware (Intel 82852/855GM) and I noticed some things compared to the previous Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon edition:
1) In Cinnamon for Linux Mint 16, the background color for all drop-down menus wasn't visible, making it very difficult to read the text for each menu item. In Cinnamon for Linux Mint 17, the bug appears to be fixed; the background color is now visible.
2) However, for Cinnamon under Linux Mint 16 and 17, regardless of what alternate appearance theme I tried to apply, the windows always show the incorrect dropshadow color (white) instead of black.
The terminal outputs for glxinfo (when I'm testing under Linux Mint 17) show that I am indeed running MESA 10.1 and that I do have direct rendering enabled.
While I have absolutely NO idea what's causing this or what packages are responsible for whatever else, the following list are of packages that I'm currently using, that I think have something to do with this bug, and their current version numbers: *libdrm-intel1 v2.4.52-1 *xserver-xorg-video-intel v2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1 *libgl1-mesa-dri v10.1.0.4.ubuntu5 *libgl1-mesa-glx v10.1.0.4.ubuntu5 *libglapi-mesa v10.1.0.4.ubuntu5 *libglu1-mesa v9.0.0-2 *linux-kernel-generic v3.13.0-24 *linux-firmware v1.127
Please note that I'm experiencing this bug on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon Edition with the Intel 82852/855GM chipset.
