I've downgraded to Xephyr 1.5.0 which doesn't appear to have the problem (yet). If it's stable, I'll switch back to 1.5.3 and 177.82 and see if I can reproduce it. It may be a while as I am about to go on vacation and be away from all this until after New Year. :-)
The reason I suspect Xephyr is that it doesn't appear to happen on screens adjacent to the broken one. In other words, on a dual DVI, single GPU card, I'd expect both outputs to be corrupt. Not so. It happens independently on each head, regardless of whether they share the GPU or not. --Yan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
