Description Hisham Mardam Bey 2004-09-21 15:13:53 UTC 
when i use xorg-x11 (latest ~x86) with the mga driver on my 1064 based matrox cards (with or without xinerama) i get broken root window backgrounds and application content / window borders are cluttered / become gibberish / get broken.

The bug is illustrated here:
 http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1089

and the solution  is here:
http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-May/000776.html
and here:
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_storm.c.diff?r1=1.100&r2=1.101

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use mga driver
2. start xorg
3. launch any app and move it around for a bit

Actual Results:  
window contents / borders / desktop bg breaks up and you get distorted visuals.

Expected Results:  
move / display window contants / bg / borders properly
