I'm been upgrading my software and hardware piece by piece over the
past few weeks, and this afternoon I successfully upgraded to 1.5.2
on my Pentium I.  Everything seemed to be fine.  This evening, I moved
the hard disk into another machine, a Pentium III with an integrated
video controller, and now I have a tiny little problem with X: the
root window never seems to redraw, so anything that has been drawn
there remains until it is overwritten by some other application's
window.  Dragging an xterm across the screen makes an impressive
looking pattern of repeated frames. :-)  "xsetroot" has no effect.

The video controller is identified by the kernel as "vga1 at pci1 dev
0 function 0: Nvidia Corporation Aladdin TNT2 (rev. 0x20)".  I picked
the XF86_SVGA server for it.  I append what the X server says.

Other oddities: the icons show up as just a shape with the icon's
background color -- hmm, I opened and closed one, and it turned black,
but I dragged it around, and after it went behind another window and
came back out, it went back to its background color.  And I can use
control-alt-Fn to change to another console, but ctl-alt-F1 gives me
the "text window" (X server messages); I must use ctl-alt-F5 to get
the actual X display back -- I can't remember if that's normal, but I
think that ctl-alt-F1 used to get me back to the X display.  My
"mclock" is not showing up properly either.  Konqueror is kind of
flakey: some things show up, some don't.

My xterms work very nicely, though, so I am able to get some work done!

I can't help but think that one of the "XAA" (acceleration?) options
mentioned in the printout below is defaulting to the wrong thing, but
which one, and how to fix it, I don't know.  I'd appreciate if some
kind X guru would save me "a week in the library" and tell me what is
wrong with my X configuration!


Anne.
