From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: I upgrade RH7.2 to 7.3. Now, since the begining of the session, at login screen, mouse pointer shows two rows at the bottom of the sprite that disapears when the mouse is redraw by pointing it over some text. Then, in Gnome or KDE, noise pixels appear again and again specialy when dragging window`s bars, when opening menus or pushing buttons. Again, pointing it to something that makes the pointer redraw, i.e. a text, makes noise pixels disappear, just to appear again on the next fast move or while opening a window menu With RH 7.2 this never happened Maybe related: In some circumstances, screensavers can't hide the screen and start to draw jus over the desk image, like if the saver's background was transparent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Noise pixels appears from the begining in the login screen. Noise disappears moving the mouse over a text 2. Dragging a window bar at normal or fast speed cause noise to appear. Dragging slowly do not generate noise pixels. 3. Opening certain window menus Screensavers: 1. Start a KDE session and select Matrix screensaver 2. Go to a console screen and work there enough time to let screensaver trigger in the graphic console 3. Go back to graphic console Actual Results: Two rows of random pixel noise appears at the bottom of the pointer sprite Screensaver: You can see a serious damaged image of the desktop and the screensaver drawing over it, like if the screensaver background was transparent. Expected Results: Pointer sprite should be clean Screensaver: Bacground should be black and desktop image should be hidden Additional info: Graphic card: SIS520 Processor: AMD K6 2 RAM: 128 Mb
attach your X server log and config file.
I've find out the solution!! There seems to be a missing line in the XF86Config-4 file. In your XF86Config-4 file, on the Section "InputDevice" (where you define the mouse settings) add the line: Option "CorePointer" It also helps to grab an update for the sis driver from http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml
Assuming this works for you now, and closing WORKSFORME based on your last comment entry. Also changing component to proper XFree86 component.
