On my system it looks a lot stranger sometimes since it does not look
like a line or something like this. I have even seen strange color errors
like red dots somewhere in plain ascii text and so on. The problem shows
up *often* on my system.
I think I can reproduce the problem on my system with vim:
- enter one line of text
- press enter to get new line
- then press backspace to return to previous line
A refresh cleares the display corruption. Is this a problem of the
backing store?

I am using an Nvidia Geforce 4200 card and with the NV driver the
problem does not show up (not very helpful info I guess). If you
need further infos about my system just let me know. I am currently
running
ii xserver-xfree8 4.2.1-0pre1v1 the XFree86 X server (static version
since it is not that big a download (only 3.5 MB compared to the 16 MB
of the regular version -- I think that's a build error, shouldn't the
static debug version be the large one?)

Well, yeah ... I suppose there's no point in getting greedy, is there?
