Bug Description

Binary package hint: libgl1-mesa-dri

Setting the saturation for a composited window to less than 100% abruptly turns it into a solid white/grey rectangle. Its content stays invisible until the saturation is returned to 100%. This happens in compiz with unresponsive windows via the "Fading Windows" plug-in as well as when manually setting saturation with the "Opacity Brightness Saturation" plug-in. Opacity and brightness are unaffected and work as expected.

Steps to reproduce:
$ gnome-calculator&
$ killall -s STOP gnome-calculator
-> wait and watch gnome-calculator become solid grey (see screen shot)

or:
$ gnome-calculator&
$ ccsm
Accessibility->Opacity Brightness Saturation->Saturation
press "new ", Windows: class=Gnome-calculator, Window values: 99
-> gnome-calculator turns solid white

Can't reproduce this anymore in libgl1-mesa-dri 7.7.0~git20090914.d3f5a2e5-0ubuntu0tormod.
Changing window saturation works well for both of the above test cases.
Thanks to whoever is listening.

We're looking at shipping 7.6.0 in karmic, so if you can test to verify the fix is included in that, please let us know.

Sorry for the delay, it took a me a while to get this working. So I downgraded everything but drm-modules-source from xorg-edgers to mesa 7.6.0-1ubuntu2 and then recompiled libgl1-mesa-dri with some troubles to enable r600 support. In the end it turned out well and the fix does seem to be included, desaturated windows work fine.

Except for bug 425303 I didn't find anything else wrong with 7.6. Not-a-benchmark shows >8000 frames/5s, /usr/lib/xscreensaver/gl* all work, wine games work, only blender was easy to crash

drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream.
[ 2975.471078] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* cs->dwords too big: 16437

but this looks more like a result of the version mismatch between karmic's libdrm and drm-modules-source from xorg-edgers.

Closing as fixed, lucid has 7.6.1rc3 and soon 7.7.
