No; I just tried to play with it, and: - without Option "ShadowFB" "no" the screen is garbled (the bottommost part is not initialized, i.e. displays whatever was displayed there last, and the rest of the screen is repeated in four `bands' - and you can scroll the screen as noted below) - with Option "ShadowFB" "no" the screen displays correctly, but sadly at 1024x800 (or possibly 1024x768). Moving the mouse cursor to the edge scrolls the screen, which, I suppose, is the proper behaviour. Of course, the display is rather slow without ShadowFB, but that's not really a problem. Note that the shadow buffer works fine for any of the `supported' (if wrong) modes like 1024x800. A new log file, with your virtual line and the shadow buffer disabled, is available at http://jschipper.dynalias.net/~joachim/posts/20070825/Xorg.0.log. Thank you for your help!
