Who would have thought of that?

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665320 for a few
complaints with all kinds of drivers. I would expect this to be a
major problem, but apparently, there doesn't seem to be much of an
upheaval about it.

If only someone "up there" cared about your post to the mailing list...

Which might hit the same kinda path in the server as fbdev, OK (the
original issue seemed to happen with fbdev only, didn't see any other
complaints for other drivers until now). But my point about getting it
upstream'd stands.

TBH I didn't know that I was. I'm using vboxvideo_drv.so...

Well, sorry, but I think time is better spent pushing for its being
merged upstream, which is what I did/do.

Why are you using the fbdev driver anyway?

For some time I've been dealing with this happening whenever I move a
window to the left:

http://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/8909/corruption.png

My CPU is an Intel Core i7 920.

I'm finding using my computer fairly madenning because of this bug,
which is worked around by activating the memmove preload library. I
would appreciate it if the patch could be applied to the Debian packages
of Xorg soon.
