Dark background and borders around icons

Asked by Chunlei Wu

Hi,

     I have Ubuntu 10.10/Gnome 2.32.0/Docky 2.0.11 r1434 installed on an intel HD(i915) laptop. The initial installation of Docky on fresh installed Ubuntu 10.10 (from iso image) was OK, but since I installed the latest Intel graphics driver via "ppa:glasen/intel-driver". A dark background showed up behind docky panel and each icon has a border around it (see http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2299/selection001z.png). I have Compiz running, and I didn't see an error like "Docky needs compositing." as other posts mentioned. Manually restart docky does not fix the problem. And I noticed that if I turned on panel mode, the background and border disappear.

    Is it a bug (docky or intel-driver)? Can someone advice a solution for it?

Thanks.

    The output from "docky -d" is attached here:

This is a driver bug. There are different driver versions (I dont know them) that work fine.

Can you help with this problem?
