OK... I can tell be the number of replies, everyone just rolled their
eyes at me and figured I'm crazy. But it really does occur. :)
FWIW:
I have found that if I use the GDM provided XDMCP Chooser... that the
problem immediately dissapears.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
It sounds like something is causing data to get scribbled over video
memory when you move your mouse, but who knows?
That's the assumption I had (but I have no idea how to 'fix' it). In
fact, if you could see it happen... it even "looks like" memory getting
allocated. The blocks fill in left to right top to bottom (for the most
part). First one block... then another.
You should probably not expect replies to a non-trivial message in less
than 24-hours;
Sorry... my comment regarding the "number of replies" was a failed
attempt at humor. I realize this is a bit of an odd one.
My follow up to my own message was intended to introduce the new tidbit
of info I had found (XDMCP Chooser).
My hint is very bad (I had a problem once, and assume any problem with
gdm is the same). What is the value of the FirstVT option
in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf? Is that tty off in /etc/ttys?
Well, yes. That is the case. FirstVT=9 in gdm.conf. I only have
ttyv0-ttyv4 set to on. So I changed FirstVT to 4. This had the
undesirable effect of causing GDM to be unresponsive to the keyboard
(mouse still worked). Then I changed FirstVT to 5... keyboard now
works. And the odd artifacts remained.
Did I not make the change you were proposing properly? I don't believe
this has any effect.
