From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: Under RH9, the mouse cursor leaves behind a kind of delayed-redraw corruption rectangle inside hardware rendered opengl applications. Instead of tranperantly displaying the actual GL window under the cursor, it's as if the previous under-the-cursor image is being draw - albeit too late. This causes a bunch of mess to form around the cursor. Please see the screen shot provided. Hardware tested: - Matrox G400 32mb - NVidia TNT 16mb Applications tested: - custom/interal GL apps - blender3d.org's Blender - glxgears - many small GL applications No such corruption occurs if I force the application to use software GL (ie. set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use libraries from a freshly compiled MesaLib build). This seems to point to something hardware related. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run any opengl based, in particular, those that run inside of a window 2. move cursor around the app redraws and renders its window Actual Results: Corruption. Expected Results: No corruption. Additional info: Xcursor thing, perhaps?
Same problem with i830 on IBMs R31 Solution: Option "SWCursor" "true" in XF86Config (Section Device)
