Description Youssef Makki 2003-05-22 06:27:05 UTC

Description of problem:
When using xinerama with my Radeon 7500 AGP, the display is corrupted, with each
window opened/moved/minimized leaving behind a permanent shadow of white boxes
on the screen. The mouse is also followed by a white box, though not always.
The primary display is somewhat usable if you move windows around to get rid of
the artifacts, but the secondary display shows only corrupted images.
I have tried the 4.3.0-10 rpms provided by mharris with no luck.
I should mention I tried this before upgrading XFree86 on what I believe was
4.3.0-5, the displays would not launch at all even with xinerama disabled.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.3.0-10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use attached XF86Config or similar for xinerama
2. startx
3. move mouse / launch windows
    

Actual Results:  Displays are both corrupted with artifacts on screen

Expected Results:  Usable displays
