Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Now that bug #599741 has been fixed, this bug report describes one of the remaining rendering issues. The graphics card in question is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450. The free radeon driver is used.

In the screenshot attached to this bug report, you can see that the shadows of the application icon tiles are not displayed correctly. For demonstration purposes, I dragged the workspaces icon out of the launcher.

Hi, with the latest Unity release for natty alpha 1 (3.2.2), we hope to have lowered the GL requirements for Unity enough that it should run on your system smoothly and without rendering artifacts. Could you please try out A1 when it's released and see if this is fixed for you, thanks.

Just launched Natty Alpha 1 from a flash-drive. All rendering issues seem to have gone and everything feels snappy, even without having a proprietary graphics driver installed. I must say that I'm impressed by the quality of this Alpha release, considering that in the case of Unity, the switch to Compiz has not been made long ago. Thanks and keep the good work up!
