Description of problem: I have a Built-by-ATI Radeon 9500 128MB: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4144 (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 0002 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at ec00 [size=256] Memory at ff8f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at 80000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <available only to root> 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4164 Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 0003 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64 Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at ff8e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: <available only to root> After upgrading to 4.2.99.901-20030205.0 from 4.2.99.4, the hardware cursor has additional pixels "tagging along" with the proper cursor shape. There are three extra single-pixel dots arranged in a triangle, below and to the right of the actual cursor, and they move in sync with the cursor. Their distance is about 1 to 4 cursor-sizes away from the actual cursor shape. It doesn't matter what shape the cursor is (arrow, I-beam, etc.) Interestingly, this only happens on display :0.0 of my dual-headed set up (no Xinerama). :0.0 is DVI-D, :0.1 is the Analog HD-15 VGA connector. Using Option "SwCursor" in XF86Config causes the problem to go away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.99.901-20030205.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install phoebe2 2. Upgrade to rawhide XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030205.0 Additional Info: Will attach XFree86.0.log and XF86Config.
Created attachment 89940 [details] XF86Config
Created attachment 89941 [details] XFree86.0.log with HwCursor enabled
Created attachment 89942 [details] XFree86.0.log with SwCursor enabled
This problem has gone away in XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030213.1, so it appears that this has fixed the problem: - Added XFree86-4.2.99.901-argb-cursor-render-bugfix-keithp.patch, yet another ARGB cursor bugfix. This one is in the render code. It should fix problems reported by msw and others of random blobs and crap following the cursors around, in particular when using the 'core' cursor theme
Thanks, closing as RAWHIDE
