From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: Nice Dell LCD monitor designed to be used at 1280x1024. At 800x600, I can reliably generate horizontal lines across the root window which should not be there. This does not happen on 1280x1024. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fc4test 1 on athlon with radeon 9000, with an LCD monitor designed to work at 1280x1024. 2. End up at 800x600 (this is a separate bug, #153292) 3. open gnome-terminal 4. generate lots of scrollback (running yelp from the command line should do it, or just ls -R /etc) 5. Grab scrollbar and whizz it up and down really fast lots. Actual Results: Horizontal lines start appearing on the root window (not in the terminal) Expected Results: Well, root window remains un-lined. Additional info: I am sure I can go back and try other resolutions if necessary.
Created attachment 112656 [details] "mess" on root window There is a blue line (which is hard to see) to the right of the gnome-terminal, level with the first line of text in it. There is a yellow line lower down the screen on both sides of the gnome-terminal. They weren't there before I whizzed the scrollbar up and down.
Hi Telsa, Can you attach your X server config and log file? Kevin has been investigating an issue which sounds very similar to this one. It might be the same issue, so I've CC'd him for comment.

Hi Telsa, The issue I've been working on is regarding Render acceleration, but from the log file, Render accel is disabled, so this appears to be something completely different. I would suggest trying to disable the usual culprits to help narrow down which part of the code is causing these glitches. I'd first try to disable all acceleration with: Option "NoAccel" in the Device section of your xorg.conf file. Also, Mike, it's not necessary to add me to the CC list since I get a copy of these bugs through the xgl-maint alias. I'll remove myself so I don't get two copies.
Telsa, does Option "noaccel" change anything?
We need to know if "noaccel" prevents the problem from occuring. If so, we need to know if commenting out 'noaccel' and using any of the "XaaNo..." options in the xorg.conf manpage make the problem go away or lessen the problem at all. Be sure to update to the latest xorg-x11 release for FC4 for testing the above.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", awaiting results of testing from comments 5 through 7. Thanks in advance.
