I am using the Radeon driver with a Radeon Mobility M6 LY card, and similar |
| 25 |
artifacts sometimes appear on OpenOffice and when viewing large pdf documents. |
| 26 |
AIGLX will give a list of warnings and then will load: |

|
| 28 |
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x30 |
| 29 |
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x31 |
| 30 |
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x32 |
| 31 |
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/radeon_dri.so |
| 32 |
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0 |

I've just learned to live with it (since I haven't found a solution yet). |
