Hi Andreas,

Could you please elaborate on what you've changed to solve your screen
update problem? (which config files/libraries/settings did you change
on which server(sunray server/application server?)) We're experiencing
similar problems with some parts of the screen not updated during
hefty scrolling/X activity, leaving parts of the screen black. These
problems seem to be sunray specific, as we've not seen them using our
Linux/XFree86 based X-terminals. In our setup the problems seems to be
specific to the X libraries used by our software (SAS on OpenVMS).
