Bug 236943 – xorg-server-1.5.0 / x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12 - vertical black lines when moving a window around

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Helmut Jarausch 2008-09-07 11:09:06 UTC]

After upgrading to xorg-server-1.5.0 and x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12
I get short vertical black lines (of width 1 pixel) mostly at the top of the
window when moving the window around.
These lines vanish when the window is resized (just a bit) and reoccur when
moving the window.
This is across several applications like jedit, nedit, opera, TclTk applications but not with an xterm window.

Reproducible: Always

Can you reproduce with newer versions of xorg-server ? If so, please attach your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

Please don't hesitate to reopen this bug with the updated information.

Thanks
