From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Description of problem: When using Galeon or Mozilla I have a video problem where the cursor will drop pixels. If I load up www.google.com, type in a search string then left and right cursor through the text box I will get ghost cursors wherever my cursor "was". I don't know if this problem is isolated to my video card or if its common to all X configurations, I will test this further Monday on my dell server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load Mozilla 2.go to www.google.com 3.type something into the search feild and left/right cursor through the text. Actual Results: Shadows of the cursor is dropped wherever it _WAS_. Expected Results: No dropped pixels Additional info:
Do they go away eventually?
If highlight the text with my mouse the pixels correct themselves. I also noticed that this happens in the URL feild of Mozilla but does not occure in the URL feild of Galeon. Perhaps it is a problem with Gecko's GTK support??
Some additional information. This problem is _NOT_ resolved by installing Mozilla 1.1. I do not have this problem on my Dell Power Edge servers which use an ATI chipset vs nvidia.
Sounds like an mharris special!
Someone provided me with a workaround for this problem, I have not yet tested it however. Workaround: put this in the "Screen" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config: Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "true"
I tested this workaround and it fixed the problem! Any chance that either this workaround a or fix will make it in before the final? Here is my lspci info: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3] (rev a3)
Yes, I can add that workaround to the hardware database. Can you provide me with: lspci -vn I need the ID's in order to make the proper changes. Thanks.
Here ya go, seeing as the new release is right around the corner, is there any chance that this will make it in before release? 00:00.0 Class 0600: 1106:3099 Subsystem: 1043:8064 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 00:01.0 Class 0604: 1106:b099 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=0 Memory behind bridge: f2000000-f35fffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: f3700000-f7ffffff Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 00:06.0 Class 0180: 105a:0d30 (rev 02) Subsystem: 105a:4d33 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 14 I/O ports at d800 [size=8] I/O ports at d400 [size=4] I/O ports at d000 [size=8] I/O ports at b800 [size=4] I/O ports at b400 [size=64] Memory at f1800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [58] Power Management version 1 00:0d.0 Class 0401: 1102:0002 (rev 07) Subsystem: 1102:8061 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 I/O ports at b000 [size=32] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 00:0d.1 Class 0980: 1102:7002 (rev 07) Subsystem: 1102:0020 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 I/O ports at a800 [disabled] [size=8] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 00:0e.0 Class 0200: 10b7:9055 (rev 24) Subsystem: 10b7:9055 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5 I/O ports at a400 [size=128] Memory at f1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 00:11.0 Class 0601: 1106:3074 Subsystem: 1043:8052 Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 00:11.1 Class 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 I/O ports at a000 [size=16] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 00:11.2 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1b) Subsystem: 0925:1234 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 14 I/O ports at 9800 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 00:11.3 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1b) Subsystem: 0925:1234 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 14 I/O ports at 9400 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 00:11.4 Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1b) Subsystem: 0925:1234 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 14 I/O ports at 9000 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 01:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:0200 (rev a3) Subsystem: 1043:402f Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at f2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Memory at f3800000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=512K] Expansion ROM at f37f0000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 2.0
Please test this video card with Red Hat Linux 9 and indicate here if the problem is resolved or not. If the problem persists, please file a bug report at http://bugs.xfree86.org which will get to the nv driver maintainer whom works at Nvidia, and add a link to the URL of your upstream bug report so I can track the issue upstream and backport any fixes that get made by the maintainer. Thanks.
Assuming the bug no longer occurs in Fedora Core 2, closing as RAWHIDE.
