I've tried toggling EXA off in the configuration file and I now get ghosting again, even with RenderAccel on, so it does look like two bugs. With EXA the ghosts are greyscale patterns whereas with XAA they mostly seem to be derived from things to the top left of the screen. The areas where ghosting appears (IYSWIM) do seem relatively similar, though obviously I can't do a side by side comparison. > > I don't have radeonfb loaded so I didn't try this. > Would it be a lot of effort to load radeonfb and try it? Probably not but I don't have much time tonight: I will try to find time over the next couple of days to run through that and also try the things you suggested before with EXA disabled (changing down to 16 bit doesn't help XAA - that was my configuration when I first saw trouble). -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
