Undefined Fire :: Last call for help
KDE developer Lucas Murray is calling for developers (C++ with OpenGL) to help debug issues affecting the performance of KWin on ATi graphics cards. Nobody on the KWin team has such a card, and if the bugs are not fixed soon, they will be present on the KDE 4.2 final release:
Currently KWin window shadows work absolutely fine on nVidia and Intel machines but as soon as someone starts it up when using an ATI driver (No idea which one exactly) all hell breaks loose: Textures are stretched, clamping doesn't work correctly and polygons are offset by 1 pixel in seemingly random directions.
He has a screenshot of one of the bugs.
