So, I have compiled the standard Samehame QMML application from:
/home/builder/Projects/qt5/qtdeclarative/examples/quick/demos/samegame/
and got same artifacts when I use RDBA=8888 mode.
I have "screenshoot" of this flicking attifact:
http://pasteboard.co/4XjMl3GNq.png
I'm personally don't think that this is an NVidia's OpenGL ES2 bug... I
think it is Qt bug...
I'm not an OpenGL expert... so, can anybody point me what I need to do with
the Qt sources (where to look in)?
Maybe I need to add some of gl_ functions to clear of content or something
else... but where?
