<snip> I've had corruption for quite a while, it seems to be made worse under memory pressure, and when using opengl style apps (firefox, chrome, prusaslicer, openscad, etc) - usually in the form of mostly black blinking rectangles filled with a few flashing mostly red lines. It's annoying, and will happen over any app (xterm, even xroot). I'm pretty sure I saw this with 9.x. Currently 10.1, amd64, with i965 on SNA Sandybridge (gen6, gt1) backend. -- Paul Ripke "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." -- Disputed: Often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt. 1948.
