Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4 Tags: experimental Architecture: i386
After upgrading X from 4.2 to current 4.3 packages from XSF, I've got the following problem on several of workstations here. If X is started on 1280x1024 24bpp, there is well-visible and really annoying "CGA snow" effect when some object moves over the screen. (That means, to the right of the moving object there are lots of flickering white dots and short horizontal lines). Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" takes the effect away, but desktop becomes unacceptably slow. Other options (both Xaa-related and DRI-related) seem not to change the effect. This effect disappears if X is started an lower bpp (16bpp). This happens with video card that lspci detects as "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]". XF86Config and XFree86 log files are attached. In the past, I've noticed the same effect of a computer with S3 card, but I thought that it could be hardware problem. In this case, it is definitly driver problem, because earlier versions of X (e.g. 4.2) worked correctly.
