X log file
This problem was discovered while investigating bug 75018, BTW. That looks like a 2D acceleration bug. I'll have to report this to Mark Vojkovich for fixing, but in order to save him some time, I'd like to do some troubleshooting with you first. Can you try using: Option "noaccel" in your XF86Config, restart X and tell me if the display glitch disappears. If the problem disappears, remove the noaccel line or comment it out, and then view the config file manpage (man XF86Config) and near the bottom you will see various config options listed that start with XaaNoxxxxxx. Each of these options disables a single 2D acceleration codepath. I'd like you to disable one of them at a time, and let me know what option alone makes the problem go away. If no single option does it, try using more than one option and try to narrow it down. Once you've isolated the options that are required, please attach the XF86Config that works for you, along with a new X server logfile, and I can pass this info upstream and it will minimize the amount of hunting Mark will need to do to attempt a bugfix. Worst case, it will allow me to implement a workaround in the driver until it can be fixed properly. Thanks. Well, I have been poking at things, and I'm getting more and more certain that it's a bug in Mozilla. Setting the NoAccel option (which really makes the performance suck, BTW :-) doesn't make the glitch go away, but upgrading Mozilla to 1.2b makes it disappear. I'm not much of an X expert, but I've tried installing the CVS build of nv_drv.o from around october 7 that Mark Vojkovich made, and that doesn't make the problem disappear either, so something indicates that the problem is caused by the interaction of Mozilla 1.1 and other parts of X than the driver. Anyway, I'm currently running Moz 1.2b (with xft by the way, nice work!) on the 021101 build of XFree86, and it's working perfectly.

If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks. If these issues are still present in a current release, such as Fedora Core 5, please move these bugs to that product and version. Note that any remaining Red Hat Raw Hide bugs will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
