Please see the attachments: Note that in Firefox in Fedora 14 and in Windows XP the "background-repeat" property is rendered well.
I guess it's caused by cairo used for image rendering. It would need to update or fix it on RHEL5.

Reporter, can you attach the testcase?
(In reply to comment #8) > Reporter, can you attach the testcase? Browse to https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/cssref/background-repeat/ in a Firefox 3.6.x browser on a RHEL 5.x machine. See attachment 493519 [details] for the result: the image that has the "background-repeat" CSS property set to "repeat" or "repeat-x" or "repeat-y" isn't being rendered at all or is rendered once (without the expected repeat). Browse to the same page on another browser/OS (see attachment 493521 [details], attachment 493522 [details] for examples); you will see the way that the image should actually be rendered.

Which HW is the RHEL5 box? Can you attach output of lspci and /var/log/Xorg.0.log here?
It seems to be HW related. A quick test on i386-5s-m1.ss.eng.bos.redhat.com does not show that bug.
Reporter, please try to run firefox with enabled MOZ_CAIRO_FORCE_BUGGY_REPEAT: $export MOZ_CAIRO_FORCE_BUGGY_REPEAT=1; firefox
HW: Typical vm setup for rhel 5 in virtual manager. I guess the HW is not much relevant, because on physical machine it seemed to perform the same as on a vm. output of lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] 00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE [Natoma/Triton II] 00:01.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 USB [Natoma/Triton II] (rev 01) 00:01.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 00:03.0 RAM memory: Red Hat, Inc Virtio memory balloon 00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) Xorg.0.log is attached in attachments below this comment. Running firefox with: "$export MOZ_CAIRO_FORCE_BUGGY_REPEAT=1; firefox" didn't help anyhow.

Running with "export MOZ_CAIRO_FORCE_BUGGY_REPEAT=1; firefox" works fine - sorry I put there the dollar sign...
