From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) I installed Redhat 7.1 on my computer without any apparant problems. (The only relavant sys info I suspect is that I use a Voodoo3 16mb graphics card.) Whenever I scroll, or move a window inch long dotted lines appear at random places on the screen where I'm scrolling or moving a window. They don't appear to have any real order. If I continue to move, or scroll the lines build up.. more and more, until eventually it is impossible to read anything. Any help would be appreciated. If I left out something important, please contact me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.login (either gnome or KDE) 2.open either a web browser (any) or a file manager (/home, whatever) 3.Scroll.. keep scrolling and the lines become more and more plentiful. OR drag the window around by the title bar at the top. (same effect as scrolling) Actual Results: Inch long dotted lines began appearing at random places in the window I was scrolling in.. or moving. The window did scroll, or move, but the dotted lines did appear. Expected Results: The inch long dotted lines should not have appeared. Voodoo3 16mb graphics card. Running at 800X600 resolution.
I have these too but fewer in number....I could not determine why/when they show up. I only have them in konsole not in other applications that open windows...it may be a konsole problem. (Using GeForce 256 with nv driver and RH7.1)
Please attach your X server log and config file.

To the original poster: Please attach your log and config also, and soon if possible. I will be freezing XFree86 real soon now, so if there is something needing fixing, I'll need the info quickly.
To umar: Please file a separate bug report for your nvidia card as it is likely a similar but different issue, and when this bug gets closed your bug info will be lost. To both: Please try my latest XFree86 packages from: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing Numerous 3dfx and other fixes are in it over the seawolf release. The current release (-14) stands a good chance at being an official errata release, so I recommend that you beat on it and report back.
Closing bug report do to lack of reproduceability and lack of response from initial bug reporter.
