After compiling the latest version from CVS of the entire modular xorg, I have a serious fonts problem. Text is not visible unless I move my cursor over it or force refresh of the window. Happens in every application. Tested mostly with gnome and few kde apps. Worth noting is that it doesn't happen with the Xglx (Xgl) server. I have an nvidia geforce 4200go and tested it both with the open source nv drivers and the closed ones from nvidia (8178 and 8756). I use these optimisation flags for building: -O4 -march=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops and I use the latest CVS version of Mesa as well, which is again compiled with the above flags.

See bug 6349 This problem seems to be nvidia close driver's bug.
