Created attachment 321961 [details] Example of problem caused by scrolling Description of problem: Under Fedora on an XO, there are particular sizes of text that cause firefox rendering glitches after scrolling or when another window is moved overtop of the firefox window. How reproducible: This is 100% consistent once you find the DPI and font size combination that triggers it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change DPI to 140 (Appearance->Fonts->Details) 2. Open firefox 3. Go to http://dailykos.com 4. Scroll down or drag another window overtop of any of the main text Actual results: Lots of random visual noise appears in the text. The problem goes away if you use the firefox zoom in and zoom out commands. Additional info: The same problem appears on other websites; you just have to find the right combination of DPI setting and the font size of the webpage. It always seems to occur with text of the same size in terms of pixel height. The same problem occurs in firefox under Ubuntu on the XO.

Created attachment 322006 [details] X server config file This is the standard xorg.conf used on the XO, and gets set by fedora-live-base.ks

Created attachment 322009 [details] X server log file (simplified) Here's another log file where I've done nothing other than log in, open firefox, and scroll down to see the effects of the bug. (The previous log file included lots of other actions as well).
Unable to reproduce on firefox/fedora...the redraw is slow but it works.
Terry -- can you try editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding a line to the geode driver section that is Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" (below the EXA line) and see if that helps?
Wonderful! Adding "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" fixes this problem, and it looks like it fixes the black boxes (bug 462531) and also fixes a rendering bug that I hadn't noticed before: a white box around the wedge in the circle that counts down the 60 seconds in the initial login screen. Thank you!
