[Bug 364479] Re: Corrupted X after enabling UXA, unable to log into KDE

[Oenologist]

Sorry for so many post in a row, but I figured a few new things.

1. I have reinstalled lidrm (it reset the Kwin settings)
2. I have installed the Intel driver. No glitches were present, because the Kwin desktop effects were disabled and were not loading during startup (after some examination I discovered that it can be also done by editing the kwinrc file [enable=false]
3. Any attempt of enabling desktop effects kicks me back to the log in screen (with all indispensable glitches and other crap!) and the fun begins again (only disabling compositing during auto startup reverts the situation and I can log in without any problem).

So, it doesn't actually look so bad, after all. Rendering works, logging
works as well. What does not work is the whole desktop effects business.
If I enable UXA once again, it is impossible to log in, glitches are
dancing before my eyes and only the repetition of the procedure reverts
the settings back.

The question now is - what's the issue between kwin and
acceleration/rendering. As I mentioned before - UXA worked splendidly
and I hoped nothing will change this situation. Shall I wait for a new
upgrade of some sort, or is it just the issue of system settings?
