Black screen with GLX backend in default settings #1511

Description

  • picom v13
  • Kernel 6.18.13-arch1-1
  • Mesa 26.0.1
  • Openbox 3.6.1
  • AMD Radeon RX 9070

Picom started blackscreening after updating it, so I nuked all my config files thinking I had some legacy option set that broke it. Nope. Even with /etc/xdg/picom.conf wiped as well and running only picom --backend glx I get a black screen; the system is responsive and the mouse cursor still properly chances shape when I hover over a terminal window, so it seems to be "just" a rendering glitch?

  • GLXInfo finds the GPU: glxinfo.txt
  • picom running with trace logging for ~1 second before I ^C it, after confirming it blackscreens: picom.trace.txt
