I've been seeing this (minor) bug for over a year. Please look at the bugzilla.redhat.com report linked for some more details. It's still happening with XOrg 7.1. Quick description of the problem : A vertical bar of a few pixels appears on the left side of the display and contains what appears to be an horizontal repetition of a 1 pixel wide vertical stripe from what is missing on the right side of the display (the display is like "moved" to the right, and "wraps around" in an odd way). When does it happen? - When I boot the computer with the TV turned on When does it not happen? - When I boot the computer with the TV turned off - When I boot the computer out of "hibernate" (swsusp, "suspend to disk"), even with the TV on - When I switch to any text VT then back to X, it goes away (see the video) - When I use the vesa driver instead of the radeon one Hardware and software : - Shuttle AMD 64bit barebone - Asus AGP Radeon 9200 (not SE) - BenQ 37" LCD TV connected through DVI, at max resolution of 1280x1024 - Fedora Core development x86_64 fully updated (XOrg as recent as it gets) I've always suspected something to do with the TV's dimension, as it's BIG (it's the TV from bug #6004)...

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
does this still happen with the latest code from ati git?
I would need to test, I guess. It's still happening with Fedora 7's latest Xorg drivers. I've quickly looked around xorg.fd.o but haven't found where to download driver snapshots or instructions on how to get the latest git content.

This particular issue disappeared in when I updated from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8. Fedora 7 : - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-9.fc7 - xorg-x11-filesystem-7.1-2.fc6 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-4.fc7 Fedora 8 : - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-37.fc8 - xorg-x11-filesystem-7.1-2.fc6 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-2.fc8 So the fix is probably/possibly in the ATI driver. Closing as FIXED.
