Please establish that this isn't an XFree86 driver bug.  One way to do
this is to edit your XF86Config-4 file and add the following line to
your "Device" Section:

Option "NoAccel"

Then restart the X server and see if you can reproduce the problem.



OK, this change does fix the problem. I guess we can then conclude that
it is a bug in X and not in Xft. If it's possible to directly transfer
this to that package, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll report it there.
Which there should I report it to?

For informational purposes, I'm running the nv driver on a GF4 Ti4400
using X version 4.2.1-11



I'm reassigning it with this message.

To follow up properly, I need the information described in
XF86Config(7).

Please mail the info in question to this bug when you get a chance.

Thanks for the prompt reply!



Whole file attached.
Update: the problem still exists in X 4.3 in debian-experimental, with the same config. Again, it disappears when I set Option NoAccel
