Funky Display Output

[Ron Georgia <netverbs%gmail.com@localhost>]

My monitor is acting a little funky. When I call up something like wireshark or firefox and start scrolling the content inside the active window looks like a satellite TV during a storm. When the window repaints it is choppy (albeit colorful). If I let it sit long enough it settles out.  This is new since updating to NetBSD 8.99.37. I also pulled down the latest “sets” from HEAD and installed that (and survived etcupate). Here’s a little info.
