I get some strange behavior with the Xsun server running on an Ultra 1
with a cgsix under both the off the shelf sparc64 1.6 and 1.6.1
releases.  When running a web browser remotely (on an Intel Linux box,
if that matters) using the Ultra's display and scrolling up and down the
display of text is frequently incomplete.  It appears that characters
are randomly not painted.  For example, the first line in this message
might look like...

I g t s m  stra ge  eh    r with t   Xsu  s r er ru   ng on a  Ultra 1

If I drag the cursor over the line then all the characters appear, so
they are really all there.  Images are also sometimes clipped.  This
problem affects mozilla, netscape and opera.  I've rebuilt the server,
but that did not fix the problem.

I've also got a SS20 running the sparc port of 1.5 and it never has this
problem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  More importantly, can anyone
suggest what I might do to fix the problem?
