Description

[Eugene Wilson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718

I don't know if this is a Mozilla issue or a KDE issue so I'll report it both
places.  If I browse to www.pricewatch.com, both the browser and the KDE desktop
get filled up with the image www.pricewatch.com/bar2.jpg.  I'll try to attach a
screenshot to show what happens.  I'm running Mozilla 1.5a but I've seen this
behavior with 1.4 also.  I am running RH9 with KDE 3.2 on an IBM PC300L

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to www.pricewatch.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The whole desktop is filled with the image of www.pricewatch/bar2.jpg.

I wanted to add that this is not a duplicate of bug# 126354 as far as I can tell.

could it be some kind of weird image/xserver bug?

I did a little more experimenting browser and window manager combinations with
the following results:

Browser        Windowmanager    Behavior
========================================
Mozilla 1.5a   KDE3.2 (kwin)    Bug
Firebird 0.6   KDE3.2 (kwin)    Bug
Mozilla 1.5a   WindowMaker      No Bug
Konquerer      KDE3.2 (kwin)    No Bug

I should also mention that the computer has an S3 Savage4 video card and I'm
using the "savage" driver from XFree 4.3.0

Sorry, the version of KDE I'm running is 3.1.

Are you still seeing this?

CCing tor since this has got to be some low level X server thing

Looks like the tiled background went wrong.  That background image is 8x8, so
it seems concievable that XAA (internal XFree86 acceleration architecture) is
attempting to use the 8x8 pattern fill hook.  This appears to be broken in the
savage driver - it was disabled in their CVS tree on August 10th.  Try setting
this option in your XF86Config:

Option          "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect"

>Option          "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect"
I added this option to the video card section of XF86Config and the problem
seems to have been fixed.  What an strange little bug!  As far as I'm concerned
this is fixed.

Video driver bug, then. Thanks all.
