Bug 527120: xorg-x11-server-Xorg shows graphical problems - after starting X
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527120

------- Additional Comments from Patrick Grieshaber <sysspoof@xxxxxxxxxx>
Description of problem:
After starting the Xorg server, the whole gui interface shows a lot of 3mm long
lines in green (and sometimes orange). It is def a graphical fault. The little
lines are everywhere - on the gnome menu, wallpaper, other windows (I mean the
lines didn't only appear on gtk/qt windows or so...)

The problem is, that xorg did not crash so there is no log file which helps the
devs. I've appended Xorg.0.log (but with a working xorg!).

The problem appeared after an update (yum update). Here's the list of the last
yum updates (unfortunately I wasn't able to find the buggy package):
