GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 597343
Windows mis-aligned when using Mutter

Created attachment 144728 [details] "fuzzy" antialiasing when using mutter When running under mutter, fonts for GTK+ applications looks a little bit fuzzy. This issue is only visible with Mutter, I don't have this problem when using compiz or metacity (with compositing enabled). It looks like antialising rendering is more "visible" with Mutter. I'm attaching screenshots done with xmag.

This is almost certainly a video driver bug. The reason you don't see it under Compiz is that Compiz turns off bilinear scaling for windows that are 1:1 and not scaled or transformed - we probably should do the same to get a bit of performance gain, but it's still a video driver bug. (I fixed problems in the Radeon driver towards the beginning of the year.)
I think you change the title of this bug incorrectly :) Video card is : Card:ATI Radeon X1950 and earlier: ATI Technologies Inc|Radeon 9100 IGP [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:5834 subv:1297 subd:f362) using radeon driver.
new title looks fine to me - what's wrong with it? I wanted to make clear that it wasn't anything to do with text or antialiasing - you should see the same problem with lines. Hmm, it looks my patch from: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20340 Is r300 only. r200 may need the same fix.
well, for me, when you wrote "Windows", it means Windows in the window manager sense, not the OpenGL sense :) Anyway, I've just rebuild Mesa with your r300 fix, adapted for r200 and it fixes the issue. I'll reopen fdo bug with r200 version of the patch.
