Sorry for the late reply, we should forward this bug upstream (bugzilla.freedesktop.org, product xorg, component Server/General). Thanks for your answer. Before we do so, can you reproduce the problem with xserver-xorg-core 1.4.1 currently in unstable? Yes. I see this problem eg. when running freecol, too. I don't see any problem here on i945 and r300 with Xserver 1.4 under a Gnome environment. Maybe it's driver specific, depending on how the Render extension is supported. Can you send the whole output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 31 (or point me to another bug report that contains a recent one from the same machine) ? Also, can you describe what you exactly observed? Did the problem appear immediately? Or only during some specific tests? Did the system come back to work fine after the benchmark? Was the mouse working ok? Anything else? Brice
