That is typically a driver problem or a video card problem.  I've seen CS do
that only when I had over heating problems with the video card, driver
corruption or a failing video card.  It is not inherent to CS in my
experience and is unique to the system you are running it on. An easy way to
narrow down the problem is, fire up a Direct X game that is fairly graphics
intensive. If it corrupts then the problem is likely hardware. If it doesn't
corrupt then fire up something Open GL based and see if it corrupts then. If
so then the problem is the OpenGL portion of the driver.

It's not a perfect test method but it should help.

Make sure you are using the latest drivers too.

I see you are running Linux so you may not be able to test direct X unless
you are dual boot w/ Windows (Obviously).  Try a different program that does
real time rendering and see what it does, I'm willing to be the problem is
the video card itself.   What model card are you using?  Is the cooling
system on the card functional? Fan still spinning... etc?

Subject: [CsMain] occasional rendered view corruption

To whom it may concern,

I write to let you know about rendered view corruption that I can see
walking in walktest. It is enough to look around standing at the entry
point. I am curious whether the corruption is specific for my hardware or
X.org and drives version or whether it is quite common - with the intention
to discover how to walk without strange effects.

A screen-shot shows an example of a corrupted view, to save words of

Also, I have grabbed both standard and error output of walktest.
They go with the e-mail.
