Description of problem: Using http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/linux/XF86Config-4.c400 <http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/%7Echak/linux/XF86Config-4.c400> as the XF86Config file I get strange rectangular display artifacts. This occurs, for example, at the X login screen (where the redhat logo is decapitated) and when I run mozilla. A screen shot of the later case is at http://genomes.rockefeller.edu/~clifford/display_bug.png <http://genomes.rockefeller.edu/%7Eclifford/display_bug.png>. This is in 8 bit mode which is supposed to work as it uses less than 1MB of video RAM.
System: Dell latitude c400 Redhat 7.3 + updates X (standard version is redhat 7.3): 4.2.0-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy the XF86Config file mentioned above 2. start X. 3. Look at decapitated Redhat logo at the X login screen 4. loging and start mozilla, for example 5. Look at strange display artifacts in mozilla (see http://genomes.rockefeller.edu/~clifford/display_bug.png <http://genomes.rockefeller.edu/%7Eclifford/display_bug.png> for screenshot). Actual Results: Strange rectangular display artifacts in X. Expected Results: Normal X display Additional info: I understand that there is a patch for higher colour modes but this affects 8 bit mode. ------------------ Workaround solution ------------------- Following more suggestions from mharris I have tried the various XaaNo... options (having commented out noaccel which also works but, of course, gives me no acceleration). Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" in the "Device" Section fixes the problem. No other single XaaNo... options seem to fix it. This gives me a basically perfectly working system in 8bpp. Cheers, Raphael _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
