Perhaps it's one of these changes, but upgrading to 1.0.99.2-2 broke font
rendering for me. Basically everything works, but about half of the fonts¹
show a peculiar problem: they don't show up, but when I select text with
mouse, they appear. Or when I wave a window over them. Then they vanish
again. It looks like a caching / backing-store problem. At least firefox,
kate, gkrellm and opera show this.

I'm running up-to-date rawhide, 2.6.17-rc1, e17-cvs and nvidia 8756.
Downgrading kernel to 2.5.15-rc7 (last I used succesfully before boot),
nvidia 8178, or running fvwm does not change the behaviour. Disabling
BackingStore, Composite or RenderAccel from xorg.conf doesn't seem to help.

Xorg is slightly more of a hassle to downgrade, I haven't tried that yet.

Any ideas?

¹ Anti-aliased fonts, but not all of them, at least not in all applications,
  such as rxvt-unicode.
