i3 doesn't refresh a screen after window closing
Hi, all.
I have a following problem. When I close a last window, i3 doesn't refresh a screen and the window's image stays in a screen. How can I fix this problem?

I used GDM. I installed SLiM, disabled GDM, enabled SLiM in systemd and i3 refreshes a screen now. Perhaps GDM affects the refreshing of i3.

Most likely a graphics card driver-specific problem, since no such issues are known and no such issue happens on my machine. Which driver are you using? Try vesa to verify that your current driver causes it.
I use archlinux and xf86-video-intel package (Description: X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers) $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
I removed xf86-video-intel and installed xf86-video-vesa package. The problem was fixed after these steps. If vesa driver is installed on my machine then i3 refreshes a screen. Should I use vesa driver instead of intel driver if I want to use i3?
