290.10 has some issues on text redrawing as far I experience. I have
also been running 290.10 for quite a while. Some apps, especially emacs
and gnome-terminal will fail redrawing text areas while, e.g. scrolling.
And x11 cursor cannot sometimes be displayed correctly.
When I downgrade to 285.09.05, things seem to be OK.
