           Summary: Text is unreadable/completely mangled.
           Product: Mesa
           Version: 7.10
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/r200
        AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: freedesktop.org@datademons.com


Created an attachment (id=45695)
 --> (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=45695)
Example of mangled text.

My card is an old Radeon 9200 (rv280).

Using debian stable, w/mesa 7.7.1, text in opengl applications renders
properly, but mesa is very slow, so I decided to try out mesa 7.10 from debian
testing.

With debian testing (mesa 7.10), and unstable (mesa 7.10.2), the text is
completely mangled and unreadable.

I will attach a screenshot of an xbmc screen from my htpc that shows the
mangled text.  Other OpenGL apps behave the same way; all the text is
completely unreadable, but everything else renders beautifully (and quickly!)

Running OpenGL applications with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose yields no errors other
than:

libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/htpc/.drirc: No such file or
directory.

The relevant entries from my dpkg listing:

ii  libgl1-mesa-dev                     7.10.2-1                     A free
implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files
ii  libgl1-mesa-dri                     7.10.2-1                     A free

ii  libgl1-mesa-glx                     7.10.2-1                     A free

ii  libglu1-mesa                        7.10.2-1                     The OpenGL
utility library (GLU)
ii  libglu1-mesa-dev                    7.10.2-1                     The OpenGL
utility library -- development files
ii  mesa-common-dev                     7.10.2-1                     Developer
documentation for Mesa
ii  mesa-utils                          8.0.1-2                     
Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities

Adding the option: Option NoAccel true to xorg.conf makes the text render
properly in all versions of Mesa, but as you'd imagine, makes programs unusably
slow.

Let me know if you require any other information from me.

Looks like bug 34280, which was recently fixed.

I think you may be right.

Apologies for the bug duplication; font rendering issues yields a problem in
searches in that there's so many synonyms to search for, and finding the bug
you speak of may prove difficult.  (Do I search for distortion or mangled or
unreadable or rendered incorrectly, or .. or .. or.. :)

I'll give #34280 a check out tomorrow and reopen if it's not fixed, but I
highly suspect that not to be the case.

Thanks for your help.
