From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4 Description of problem: After installing the Rawhide 1101 build of XFree86 the throbber and scrollbars in Mozilla have become garbled - see the attached screenshot. So far Mozilla is the only program that I have found to be affected; for example Phoenix has no problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla. The throbbers and scrollbars are replaced by what looks like garbled versions of other bitmaps - the Red Hat Network icon, perhaps? Additional info: Athlon XP1800+ on Asus A7N266-VM, Nvidia nForce graphics. Mozilla 1.1

This problem was discovered while investigating bug 75018, BTW.
That looks like a 2D acceleration bug. I'll have to report this to Mark Vojkovich for fixing, but in order to save him some time, I'd like to do some troubleshooting with you first. Can you try using: Option "noaccel" in your XF86Config, restart X and tell me if the display glitch disappears. If the problem disappears, remove the noaccel line or comment it out, and then view the config file manpage (man XF86Config) and near the bottom you will see various config options listed that start with XaaNoxxxxxx. Each of these options disables a single 2D acceleration codepath. I'd like you to disable one of them at a time, and let me know what option alone makes the problem go away. If no single option does it, try using more than one option and try to narrow it down. Once you've isolated the options that are required, please attach the XF86Config that works for you, along with a new X server logfile, and I can pass this info upstream and it will minimize the amount of hunting Mark will need to do to attempt a bugfix. Worst case, it will allow me to implement a workaround in the driver until it can be fixed properly. Thanks.
Well, I have been poking at things, and I'm getting more and more certain that it's a bug in Mozilla. Setting the NoAccel option (which really makes the performance suck, BTW :-) doesn't make the glitch go away, but upgrading Mozilla to 1.2b makes it disappear. I'm not much of an X expert, but I've tried installing the CVS build of nv_drv.o from around october 7 that Mark Vojkovich made, and that doesn't make the problem disappear either, so something indicates that the problem is caused by the interaction of Mozilla 1.1 and other parts of X than the driver. Anyway, I'm currently running Moz 1.2b (with xft by the way, nice work!) on the 021101 build of XFree86, and it's working perfectly.
