Bug#345700: xserver-xorg: nv driver needs Option XaaNoSolidFillRect
This looks very similar to SuSE bug #246421 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246421) which is fixed in version 2.0.0 of the nv driver. It's a one-line patch, http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv.git;a=commitdiff;h=90c53c5322e50bce06996e3c857e6bf7531235d4 so it could easily be backported (I'll try that). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I did install 1.2.2.1-1 from experimental some time ago, based on an earlier request in the BTS, but that did not fix the problem. Was this one-liner added after that version? Installing xserver-xorg-video-nv from unstable seem to pull in more stuff than I'm willing to install on this machine right now.

Yes it has been committed between 1.99.1 and 2.0. Installing xserver-xorg-video-nv from unstable seem to pull in more stuff than I'm willing to install on this machine right now.

I have rebuilt 1.2.0 with the one-line patch and deployed it to the workstation of the user that was complaining. If it doesn't work, I expect I'll hear about it soon enough; I'll then append a comment to this BTS entry. mocca:~# apt-get install -t unstable xserver-xorg-video-nv Reading package lists...

I doubt there is anything in the driver that really cares about the glibc version; a straight recompile in an etch pbuilder ought to do the trick. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#345700: xserver-xorg: nv driver needs Option XaaNoSolidFillRect
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Severity: normal Dear Mr. X, I'm using the nv driver. I get display problems unless I add Option XaaNoSolidFillRect to my xorg.conf. To repro on my machine I do this: 1. Start X. 2. Start Mozilla Mail. 3. Click Compose. 4. In the message pane, type half a line of text. 5. Press and hold the left arrow key (-). Expected result: The cursor should move left without leaving any trace behind. Current result: It looks as if the cursor (black on white background) doesn't get over-drawn with white when it moves. So the cursor leaves a long trail when it moves. Let me illustrate this with some fancy ASCII art. In my ASCII rendering I'm leaving one space between each character to be able to place the cursor there. I use a pipe character as a cursor marker. The example word I type is festfixare. It's Swedish, look it up :-). After typing: f e s t f i x a r e| Expected result after moving to beginning of line using - key: |f e s t f i x a r e Current result on my system: |f|e|s|t|f|i|x|a|r|e| As I said above, using XaaNoSolidFillRect works around this.
