[gentoo-user] Strange problem with urxvt
Hi First of all, sorry if this is not the right forum to post this question. I'm having a strange problem with urxvt on one of my computers. When I uses a command which type some text on the screen and then waits for input, the text does not appear in urxvt until I resize the window, or forces an redraw in other ways. It works fine with other terminal emulators, and urxvt works fine on my other computer (with the same settings). I'm using gentoo, xmonad and urxvt Does any of you have a clue on what might be my problem? Best regards Allan W. Nielsen

My first guess would be a bug in xmonad, urxvt, or even your video driver. 1) If you use ssh X forwarding to run urxvt on the affected host (so, from a machine running xmonad, but not the machine with the problem, ssh -x host_with_problem urxvt), do you see the same artifact? 2) Do the versions of xmonad and urxvt on your various systems differ? Can you upgrade or downgrade xmonad and/or urxvt on the affected system to match the other systems? Does doing so resolve the problem? 3) Does the affected system use a different video driver than the unaffected systems? If it uses the same video driver, is it using a different version? (And if it uses the same video driver, but different versions, does switching to a video driver version matching an unaffected system solve the problem?) -- :wq

(You should have provided your X version and video driver information in your question, BTW.) I see it across the board on radeon only, though, with X 1.10.4. I have focus-follows-mouse and I just mouse out and back to my xterm and it redraws. It seems any xterm-type terminal does the same thing. I don't think I have ever had the problem with konsole, though.

Yes, I was asking about his hardware environment, Michael. I do not see the same problem on my nvidia cards.
