Hide Forgot
When using Gnome-terminal if the mouse pointer is within the text area of the terminal window, the pointer will change into several vertical lines that extend to the bottom of the screen when you start typing. This machine has an ATI Rage IIc video card. I have also seen this on other machines with different video cards.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Gold-release
This is definitely an X bug, an X client can't cause that type of redraw glitch.
What bit depth/resolution are you running at? We've seen this with some Mach64 cards when they are asked to do 1280x1024.
This is happening in all bit depth's at 1280x1024 only. This also happens when running xboing.
Please use XFree86-4.0.3-9 (or higher) from ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris and let me know if the problem is gone. Use: Xconfigurator --preferxf4 to configure it.
I need to know if the problem is fixed now for you. Please try the latest release of XFree86-Servers-3.3.6 and/or XFree86-4.0.3 fix this problem for you so that I can either close the report, or look into the problem deeper. ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing
This seems to be solved now. I have installed 7.1 final and tried different resolutions . I have not seen evidence that this is still a problem.
Ok, great. I wasn't able to reproduce it on my IIc here in an SMP box at any res either so it must does appear fixed.
