I've experienced this bug too. I have a few aditional observations about it (not sure how to send these directly upstream):
* It used to be caused by ACPI suspends, although this seems to have stopped happening recently * It can be fixed by switching to a virtual console and back to X * It is also triggered by switching my IBM thinkpad x40 to CRT mode. This is very annoying because jumping to a VC turns CRT mode off again. No bug-free slideshows! * I counted the width of the band of garbage memory displayed at the top of the screen; it's 32 (or maybe 31) pixels. That memory must be used for X buffers because it's affected by screen updates. -- Peter Eckersley Department of Computer Science & mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] IP Research Institute of Australia http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~pde The University of Melbourne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
