| Summary: in an xterm window, line are sometimes rendered in the wrong
| position, but only with ATI Xpert 128 and
| XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-15.i386.rpm.
This is in the bugzilla database as bug number 10656 (too bad nobody
posted that fact to the list). There is even a workaround:
- get the fixed server from SuSE:
wget ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/X/XFCom/xrage/xrage.rpm
- Note that none of the filenames in this package conflict with redhat
pathnames. If you wish to verify this:
ls -l `rpm -qla xrage.rpm`
ls should complain that none of the files exists.
- become root
su
- install the package
rpm -i xrage.rpm
- substitute it for the existing SVGA server (saving the old one)
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
ls -l XF86_SVGA XFCom_Rage128
mv XF86_SVGA XF86_SVGA.REAL
ln XFCom_Rage128 XF86_SVGA
- restart X.
I've tested this for a whole 10 minutes, and it seems to work.
