>Description:
If I attempt start X (via startx) with a *valid* /etc/XF86Config
file that I also used under RedHat Linux 6.1 then screen corruption
problems occur: white vertical very thin lines and when I move
windows around then they get large areas of white. After having
stopped X the console text window also is corrupted (it has
strange reflections of characters to the left of the actual
characters).
Under RedHat Linux 6.1 I had exactly the same problem with the
XFree 3.3.5 distribution. A pre-release version of the 3DFX_SVGA
driver that I had lying around fixed the problem. I have heard
stories on the internet that there's a bug in XFree86 3.3.5 with
Voodoo3 and Banshee video cards (text listed below):
I'm coming late to this thread, but there is a known bug
in XFree86 3.3.5 for the Voodoo Banshee/Voodoo3 cards that
causes some operations to be drawn with an incorrect ROP (ie
XOR source & destination instead of replacing the destination)
some of the time. This was supposed to have been fixed before
3.3.5 was released, but the patch got lost. The next version
of XFree86 will fix this.
