------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-02 16:03 ------- This is very similar, to what I have got before I downgraded my Nvidia drivers. I run in the 24bit mode and was getting this kind of corruption after a while - first on window title bars (e.g. Keramik titles on active windows screwed up), then later artifacts on the task list and on the desktop in my KDE. I dismissed it as Nvidia bug before (I run an SMP and dual monitor setup here, there are known issues with that), but this seems more general. Since you use the "nv" (free) driver and have this too, I guess that either there is something with XRender used for blending (I tried to disable the hardware acceleration of blending with Option "RenderAccel" "off", same problems) or XFree itself. Could you try to switch to : - flat, non-themed look ? Maybe the problem goes away, that would point to the blending, I guess. - try with proprietary Nvidia drivers ? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: When I first start X the screen is currupt, showing "ghost images" from the last time and lines and other artifacts. I press Ctrl+Alt+F# and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get it working fine again. My video card is a Nvidia Geforce 3 Ti200 running the nv driver. I'm using 9.1 RC1 and whatever X that comes w/ that. If you want a screenshot please a post a comment. Thanks.
