Hi all,

At Wolfgang's request I'm reposting this in the kernel list.

I have come across what appears to be quite a nasty little bug. After a while 
the right hand side of the display begins to tear and flicker to the right of 
objects. I have only noticed this in recent FSO builds using 2.6.28 kernels. I 
haven't found a reliable way to reproduce this, though each time it has occured 
shortly after coming out of suspend.

The only other time I've seen this kind of tearing effect was when rotating the 
screen using xrandr before all the kinks were sorted out (6 months ago).

is how how it appears)

just make out the jittering next to the house icon)

I'm fairly certain that it isn't a hardware problem. I'd like to hear whether 
anyone else has seen this before.

Peter.
