Greetings. I am currently running XFree86 4.1.0 on Linux 2.4.17 (Debian unstable). My system is based around the Intel 815 chipset (Pentium 3, 933 MHz). Afterstep window manager, with a 16 bit color depth.
Every so often, I get vertical bars appearing on my screen when I move a window around. These bars are 12 pixels wide, and tend to be separated by 116 pixels (hmm. Interesting figures...) Depending on where the window being moved is, the location at which the bars appear may move across 64 pixels. (Sorry, I can't tell you the offset from the side of the screen. Oops.) The bars do *not* appear automagically -- they appear only when I move a window around on screen (or move to a different part of the virtual screen provided by AfterStep) -- and not even all the time then. It *seems* to be related to having a large number of gtk-based windows open, but I can't swear to that; I can't reliably reproduce the problem. :-( Does anybody have any suggestions? Or am I going to end up spending a couple of hundred (Australian) dollars on a new (better :) video card? Oh, and a final note: I'm aware that XFree 4.2.0 is out. I'd prefer not to have to download and install the binaries myself -- I'd prefer to stick with the Debian package system. If, however, it can be stated with certainty that this problem is resolved in 4.2, I'll look into it. (There doesn't *seem* to be anything in the changelog, though.) Thanks, Stuart. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
