Using the siliconmotion driver and attaching an external display I get
corrupted pixels on the right hand side (note not on the bottom as well)
beyond where the display would have stopped.

e.g. my internal display does 1024x768 and the external LCD does
1280x1024 so anything from 1024 -> 1280 is corrupted.  The corruption
takes the form of two copies of the righthand most parts of the display
which look normal with blues changed to red and then blues changed to
green.

It sounds like:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727

I've not been able to build X myself to test this yet however.  I need
to find a host with enough disk and time to do it.


Simon.

XFree86 is now only in oldstable, and the xserver-xfree86 package will
be removed from unstable soon.  I'm thus closing this bug as fixed in
Xorg.  Thanks for your report and for following up!

Cheers,
