Hello
I have a problem that seems to be related to the nv driver. When I move
the text cursor around in text edit fields in certain apps (Evolution
and Mozilla come to mind), the area it moved from isn't redrawn
properly, and marks from the cursor are left all over the place. This
obviously makes the text hard to read, and even though it can be
temporarily fixed by moving the window outside the screen and back, it
is very annoying.
The reason why i think this is a problem with the nv driver, is that the
closed source nvidia driver doesn't have a similar problem (but it sure
has others). Has anyone else experienced this, or are there anyone who
knows of a way to fix it? My graphics card is a fairly recent Geforce 4
Ti4200, I'm running XFree86 version 4.2.1, and my configuration file
looks like this:
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf,
the
# Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.)
#
# If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make
changes
# before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the
# "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below.
#
# To change things within the debconf section, run the command:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
# as root. Also see "How do I add custom sections to a
dexconf-generated
# XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file?" in
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz.
