Comment 140 for bug 1015183

(In reply to comment #88)

Hello.

I would like to provide testing for this bug if possible but I'm not exactly clued up on compiling xorg-server from scratch. I figure it could be useful to have a none-standard (ie not a laptop or tablet device) low-end hardware test case but if it's unlikely to be useful then please let me know.

One thing I've noticed is that once this bug has triggered (rendering most GTK applications and the unity dash unusable), Nautilus continues to function normally with the touch screen. Can anyone else confirm this on a standard Ubuntu 13.04 installation?

Anyway, I can see the branch you're talking about and can clone the git repository no problem.

> Copy the debian directory from xserver 1.14, and comment out each patch that fails to apply in debian/patches/series

I'm not certain which directory / patches you're referring to here, could you point me in the right direction?

I can duplicate this bug every time with a custom application which uses a GtkToolPalette. It appears to trigger every time I tap a category which produces a smooth roll-out animation - the hardware is pretty low end so I suppose this additional load triggers a race condition? I can trigger the bug in other normal uses but this one is guaranteed every time.
