The background of the pointer on my X, using the i740 server, is not updated
when the pointer moves in steps. Nor is the pointer updated, until it moves
again. This means that when there is a step move, or an other sudden change
(the scroll wheel makes step moves in gnome-terminal, for example. An other
change is the mapping of a window under the pointer due to interactive
placement), the pointer is not redrawn until it moves. When it does, there=
is
a square below it which is filled with its old background. An especially b=
ig
mess can be made when dragging a window: in that case parts of the square
under the pointer are copied over themselves. As an example I made a screen
shot of an xterm, which shows the background from a "change virtual desktop
with hotkey, then move the mouse" situation, where I used the scrollwheel to
go up and down several times, and which I dragged a little over the desktop.
You can find it at:
http://129.125.47.90/~shevek/desktop-bug.png
Note that the computer was running GNU/Linux when this screenshot was taken,
not GNU/Hurd. It is named hurd because I develop (and run) GNU/Hurd on it,
but I wasn't at that moment.
My XF86Config-4 is attached.
This problem occurs since I upgraded to gnome 2.6, at which time I guess I
also upgraded to the dfsg version of X (I got the new pointers after that
upgrade anyway.) I checked, and the bug also occurs without gnome (actuall=
y,
with only X and an xterm, without even a window manager.)
$ uname -a
Linux hurd 2.6.2 #7 Fri Feb 13 15:35:02 CET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
$ COLUMNS=3D200 dpkg -l | grep xserver
ii xserver-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
files and utilities common to all X servers
ii xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
the XFree86 X server
All problems mentioned can be "solved" by forcing a redraw, for example you
switching to and from a different virtual desktop. Having to do that all t=
he
time is quite annoying though.
Thanks,
Bas Wijnen
