If I remember correctly, DAMAGE has been enabled by default for a long time, and Composite is still not enabled by default in Lenny. When did this bug appear? Could you try downgrading some packages to Etch? I would start with xserver-xorg-core, then drivers, then libs. Can you reproduce this on multiple machines with different boards? Brice
The two machines I have with Lenny have this problem. They have different nvidia boards. I tried to downgrade xserver-xorg-core and it worked! The downgrade was the following: [DOWNGRADE] xserver-xorg 1:7.2-5 -> 1:7.1.0-16 [DOWNGRADE] xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6 -> 2:1.1.1-21 [DOWNGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:1.1.5-2 -> 1:1.1.2-6 [DOWNGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.2.1-1 -> 1:1.1.1-3 [DOWNGRADE] xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.0-1 -> 1:1.2.0-3 The upgrade from 1.1 to 1.3 probably caused my problem. BTW, I am not using the nv driver, I use the proprietary nvidia driver. Cheers Leandro Penz
