Re: Strange redraw problem on x86-64 Linux

[Ron Aaron]

 I'm using Frugalware x86-64 as my Linux distro on my server machine.

 For some reason, gvim (compiled with --enable-features=big) has a very
 strange redraw problem, which is that it doesn't properly redraw the
 screen if the vim window is obscured, and requires ^L to redraw.

I should add that the system was using xorg 7.1, which I downgraded to 7.0
based upon some comments on the Frugalware forum -- but that did not
change the problem.

I've got GTK2 GUI, X11.  The GTK version on the machine is 2.4

Aha!  When I change to a bitmap font the display problem seems to go away!
 TrueType and PS fonts look ugly.
