Basically, the cursor/brush leaves a trail wherever is passes through. These trails do not appear anywhere else(gedit, gnome-terminal, kate). They are also absent if 'vesa' is used instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.2.0-3.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start typing in a text entry field of thunderbird/firefox 2. Move cursor around using the cursor keys 3. Actual Results: A trail was left wherever the cursor passed through. They disappear once the screen is repainted (minimize then maximize). Expected Results: There should not be any trail created by the cursor/brush.

Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem here with a slightly different NVidia card (6600) running a Core 6, so I am going to attach the requested info.

Without an xorg.conf file and using rawhide as at 18/05/07 the problem seems resolved. xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.0.2-2.fc7 I used www.google.com as test for input of text and also http://www.villaserenafg.it/moduli/richiesta.htm in both single line and multiline *rectangular area). After input of some text I press left-right cursor buttons with single lines or left-right-up-down for rectangular ones without any problem in rendering. lspci for my card gives: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 LE] (rev a2) I'm going to attach Xorg.0.log where you can also find default config used by the system not founding one xorg.conf.
