Notice the yellow and black stripes.
idle looks ok for me, but looks different than yours (i'll include a screenshot). What card do you have exactly? Created attachment 17836 [details]

I've been playing with the gimp but couldn't be able to reproduce theses glitches.

I think I don't experience these anymore. Though I'll reopen it in any case.

glyph corruption in a terminal
Now the glyphs are affected. Generally a single one. Not always the same, in different applications like gnome-terminal or openoffice.org.

Example in OOo
After reducing and restoring the window, the screen was repainted and the letter N was correct.
I close this bug fixed since this summer. |

Created attachment 17832 [details] my xorg.conf losing fonts in gnome-terminal and other font weirdnesses Using a NV86, nouveau/master, nouveau/drm/gallium and xserver 1.4.2. losing fonts in gnome-terminal and firefox adress bar after a while I used to have problem with fonts, but it was fixed with commit 022a9ed5c2657466dd2471a1b29d5e8bc92ca57a "nv50: no more sync in composite() :)". Now I'm observing that gnome-terminal is slightly loosing fonts over the time. Let me explain. At first, the display is all correct, but after a few hours, text is beginning to disappear. I noticed that the colored text is the more likely to disappear first. Selecting the text may help to see the characters. A new gnome-terminal opened (window not tab) does not have this problem, while the other remains "ill". I'm using gnome and the option "Composite" is enable in xorg.conf. I found out that running "xcompmgr" is 90% of the time fixing the problem. Another symptom: the Python TK interpreter, "idle" is all scrambled (screenshot to attach). In metacity windows, the titlebar sometimes goes like bold. It seems like the same text is written twice with a slight shift. I attach a screenshot as soon as it appears. In firefox, the text of the address bar is disappearing (or turning white?) when firefox is open for a while. Sometimes the text of the user interface (which is more or less a Gnome application thanks to integration) is turning white. It generally comes back by itself after a moment (or when redrawing the screen?).
