Yes I have been experiencing this problem with all of the 1.1.X series (didn't work with versions before that due to font problems). I have compiled this on both Mandrake and Gentoo So I suspect hardware -- here's my list...
Hardware AMD Duron 750 Mhz 512MB pc133 Ram Nvidia Quadro2Pro (with nvidia's drivers) Wacom 6x8 Intuos II soundblaster live & emagic audiowerk II cards everything else is pretty standard Software Mandrake 9.1, 9.2 & Currently: Gentoo.
