Description of problem: Often, a screen gets corrupted. Namely: windows get garbled, background gets garbled, xrefresh does not help, forcing something to redraw (e.g. by moving a different window on top) sometimes helps "reveal" parts of the corrupted window, but not for long. Switching to a text console and back usually (always?) helps to get rid of the problem (until it comes back again). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37 How reproducible: Fairly reproducible - most often gets triggered by browsing to some complex page (Slashdot story on GPL msconceptions, for example, triggered it 3 times in a row ;-) ) in Firefox. Additional info: Enabling the NoAccel option seems to help (at the expense of making certain things, like scrolling in Firefox _painlfully_ slow). lspci -v output (relevant part): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41GL [Quadro FX 1400] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0243 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 169 Memory at dd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at de000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Expansion ROM at dfe00000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [68] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting Relevant(?) part from Xorg log (will also attach the whole thing): (==) NV(0): Write-combining range (0xd0000000,0x8000000) (II) NV(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Screen to screen bit blits Solid filled rectangles 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion Solid Lines Scanline Image Writes Offscreen Pixmaps Setting up tile and stipple cache: 32 128x128 slots 32 256x256 slots 16 512x512 slots (==) NV(0): Backing store disabled (==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled
