Re: [gentoo-user] text in xterm
This is actually precisely how the artifacts appear on my screen. I will try a downgrade and report back the results. I wonder if there's a compiz bug out there to report this problem. -james On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 7:45 PM, Willie Wong ww...@math.princeton.edu wrote: On Sat, Oct 09, 2010 at 09:29:36PM +, James wrote: Using various different hardware configurations -- my laptop has a Intel 915GM.

[gentoo-user] text in xterm
Folks, I have an interesting problem -- not sure what's causing it. Using xfce4 + compiz -- nothing too fancy. When I open an xterm and start typing, I start getting 'artifacts' (specifically green lines between the various letters I'm trying) in my xterm. The only way to fix this is to either: (a) move the window (doesn't solve the problem if I start typing again in the terminal) (b) resize the window (this will solve the problem for all text present and future entered in terminal) (c) ...uhmm, nothing else I thought it was a font size problem -- my Xdefaults is configured to have some pretty tiny fonts. XTerm*faceName: Monospace XTerm*faceSize: 10 !XTerm*faceSize: 9 Modifying the font size, however, did not resolve the issue. The problem persists. Thoughts / ideas? This is happening on all the computers I've recently built, not just this one. -j
