I am using FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE and XFree86 4.0.1, built from the ports
collection, the following revision:
# $FreeBSD: ports/x11/XFree86-4/Makefile,v 1.101 2000/11/23 13:35:56

I compiled things like XMMS and downloaded a bloated and heavy
netscape (v4), to run on this Xserver.
After a short period of usage, I began to notice recently visited web
page graphics appear on newly visited web pages. Amazingly, I can
always scroll to the bottom of a web page and it renders normally.
At first I figured it was netscape (heh). Then I noticed the same web
graphics appearing in my XMMS playlist. The graphics displayed would
shift as I grew the playlist window. Even more interestingly, these
graphic bugs would persist on a reboot (reset button), with the same
graphical oddities...pieces of the same gif/jpegs would be scattered
in the XMMS playlist window which is supposed to be black.
Here's my card:
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Matrox MGA G200 AGP rev 1,
Mem @ 0xe3000000/24, 0xe1000000/14, 0xe0800000/23
Backing store is also disabled, not sure if it relates.
Another odd message appears upon "xset q":
Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display
Oddly I thought this was in my server. My module section looks like
this:
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
Load "xie"
Load "pex5"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
I guess I have to add:
Load "misc"
to get rid of that error?
I have log files if someone is really interested in what is going
on. Before I just go look for the 4.0.2 port, install it, find there
is still a problem, and send another message...is there something
simple I can do to fix this or has anyone seen this behavior before?
