Image corruptions in Chromium, Blood II: The Chosen through WINE, and Quake III
Arena
I have been having a very confusing problem with the version of Mesa packaged
with Arch Linux. I am using a Diamond Radeon HD 4670 with R600g.
Yesterday I updated the various Mesa packages from 10.3.1-1 to 10.3.2-1 and
upon doing so I started to encounter screen corruptions in all of the games I
tested as well as the browser Chromium.
Reverting to the previous version packaged by Arch Linux fixes the issue:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
pacman -U mesa-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz mesa-dri-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
mesa-libgl-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz mesa-vdpau-10.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
While the bug itself is of course distressing, the main thing that is confusing
me is that I am even having trouble finding mention of Mesa 10.3.2 release as
the website does not mention it and I can not even find an entry for Mesa 10.3
in the Version field of this very submission form.
Games seem to run without any stated errors in spite of the corruptions,
something which is making it difficult for me to find any additional
information. I have attached screenshots showing off some of the problems I am
talking about.
I apologize if this report is too vague or if I am missing something with
regards to the Mesa version information, but this is the best I can figure out
for the moment. Any suggestions as to deriving more useful information would of
course be appreciated.
