Description Florian Roth 2005-11-30 06:51:26 UTC 
When I start some video application (kdetv, xine) and play some movie everything
is working fine (Besides of the already known problems). I can resize, move,
hide and show the without any problems. But as soon as I move a part of the
window out of the screen X immediatelly freezes. The only thing I can do then is
ssh-ing to my machine and killing X.
What I mean with "move a part of the window out of the screen" is then the
window's rect is not within the screen's rect. For example when the coordinates
of the window's topleft corrner are (-13, -37).
Maybe it is important that I hava a nVidia card with the binary drivers.


Here the versions I am running:
Gentoo Linux
Kernel: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5
X.org: 6.99.99.902 (7.0.0 RC 2)
nVidia drivers: 1.0.7676-r1
xcompmgr: 1.1.2
GCC: gcc (GCC) 3.3.6

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ?
Please check the status of your issue.

I don't see this with the open drivers and current X servers.  Please reopen if this still affects you.
