I have the same problem too. I need to reboot to get this to be fixed. > I'm using XFree86-4.2.0, my chipset is a CyberBlade/i7. I have _basically_ the same video card. I have one of the Trident CyberBlade models. I am using XFree86-4.1.0. My friend has an iMac, has the same problem, and told me that he has a similar problem. The difference being that his problem is resolved when he restarts X. > I had this problem already with Mandrake 8. Probably it was using server > 4.x.

But not the mouse (such a little thing! :). I am using Red Hat 7.2. This is the distro the problem is on. So it's not a distribution problem, it's an X problem.

Or someone with the same problem? This is probably a server problem. I've demonstrated this to some co-workers and they got a good giggle out of it. I think the best thing to do would be hunt down the problem in the server and fix it. Shifting the pixels _would_ fix the problem, but it would be a mere hack, not a fix. Please, if you have any fixes, please let me know what it is! If you have questions, go ahead and ask.
