I have noticed that my cursor get redrawed generating cursor image flicker even if I don't move the mouse or the underlying image doesn't change. It didn't depend on the application having the focus, or over which the cursor was drawn, but was depending on the cursor location on the screen. After a bit of checking it appears to be related to virtual screen, if the cursor is positionned at the x/y coordinate of a gnome-terminal whose content is scrolling but not displayed due to being on another virtual screen, then the cursor is redrawn as the terminal image is updated. Moving the cursor coordinate outside of the terminal area stops the flicker. Using xorg-x11 6.8.1-12, gnome-terminal-2.7.3-1, and metacity-2.8.6-2.1, hardware is Matrox 450 dual head running in xinerama mode. Excerps from /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP rev 130,... (--) Chipset mgag400 found (**) MGA(0): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 (==) MGA(0): RGB weight 565 (II) MGA(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Does this qualify as a bug ? If yes what module is most likely to be guilty ?
