I have the same problem with the OOo2 beta series as well. However, I have been unable to correct it by changing the size of the fonts in KDE. My System: - PCLinuxOS (based on Mandriva) - Xorg 6.8.2 - ATi Radeon 7500@1024x768 - KDE 3.4.1 Created attachment 28127 [details]
text rendering bugs in OOo2 under KDE
I belive I was wrong that it has something to do with the font. As far as I know the lines will only happen with radeon graphic cards (but I think I saw it once on a SIS VGA chipset with OO 1.1) - with the xorg server and also with the driver from ATI. Meanwhile I use a NVIDIA an it happens that there are no lines. By using the ATI this graphical error will ONLY occur in OpenOffice. Therefore I think that it's something wrong in OO. pl: Philipp, do you have an idea what can cause this? I can see it with a Radeon card as well :-( *** Issue 52585 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Actually i have seen such problems with edit fields (see issue 52040); which seem to be a problem with the radeon driver in that case which does not process XOR operations correctly. tom1200: do you happen to use a radeon card, also ? all: Does using the "frgl" driver from ATI instead of the generic radeon driver help any ? pl: Yes, I have a radeon 9600XT, which I temporarily changed for an older NVIDIA, because of the bad quality of the diver. I took notice of the lines with a fresh installed SuSE 9.3 and the generic Radeon XOrg driver once, but also with the ati fglrx driver. So, I found this bug in the x.org bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424 Seems that the workaround is to turn off the Render Acceleration by setting option "RenderAccel" "Off" in xorg.conf; I did not try it myself yet. My ThinkPad has a Radeon 7500 card and is not supported by ATi's drivers. I can only use the open source ones. Also; I have looked at the freedesktop link cited, and I can't find the fix kendy is talking about. What is the thread heading? and how do I install it? Oh? I see it as the first comment there: ------- Opened by Giacomo Perale on 2004-09-20 01:37 [reply] ------- After upgrading to xorg 6.8.0 (installed with Gentoo ebuild) I noticed some graphic glitches in font rendering, and yesterday casually I've discovered that they are caused by Render Acceleration, and they disappear if I set Option "RenderAccel" "Off" in my xorg.conf. I have a Radeon 7500 (detected as ATI Radeon 7500 QW (AGP/PCI)). Please have a look at the screenshot that follow in this comment, I think it is exactly the same you have problem with. FYI: See also the issue #55943 - also related to radeon or fglrx driver. But using those 2 xaa options doens not help to solve this specific issue. I can confirm this issue using * Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 * ATI Radeon VE/7000 QY * XFree86 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1) * XFree86 module 'radeon_drv.o' version 4.0.1 * XFCE4 (window manager) Adding the following line to the device section in XF86Config-4 helps: Option "NoAccel" "true" (This makes rendering very slow, however.) Also using the Radeon card with the VESA module helps and no lines/artefacts remain. *** Issue 57982 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
