This problem is reproducible by enabling/disabling GDM on my machine. When GDM is enabled, I get four equally sized rectangles in the upper left corner of my screen. They are not visible at first but are responsive to mouse activity. Meaning, they slowly fill in as I move the mouse... and fill in almost completely, as soon as I click the mouse buttons. These squares draw on top of any window located there. That window will carry the discoloration with it if I move the window. The discolored squares continue, in the original location, after removing any window from the region. I originally had load glx, drm, and dri in my xorg.conf file... but since removed them just as an experiment. It had no effect on the problem. I also had DefaultFbBpp set to 32. Removed that as well to no avail. Just swinging wildly here. The squares are visible on GDM itself, and any window manager I've used (enlightenment and twm). I've got (from dmesg) ATI Radeon LW RV200 Mobility 7500 M7 model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID (a.k.a synaptics touchpad) I use Driver "radeon" in xorg.conf. Without GDM, no rectangles. No other portupgrades occurred when this behavior appeared. Just the installation/configuration of GDM. Any ideas what is going on and how to remedy it? -- Regards, Eric
