Hello Peter, bad news, the bug is still there with the modified version of the shmem segment (see below). As Warren (the bug submitter) says, the behaviour seems randomic, both on the RightEdge value and the fact that edge scrolling is working or not. Do you have any other idea to dealwith the issue? If necessary you can read the full log of the discussion here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=372692
