Hi,
I've built a partition this week using RH 9.0 and hence XFree86 4.3.0
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2)
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-3bigmem i686 [ELF]
Build Date: 27 February 2003
Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com
Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
OS Kernel: Linux version 2.4.19 (root@xxxxxx) (gcc version 3.2.2
20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #9 Fri Apr 18 09:12:37 PDT 2003
X is working pretty well in most ways, except that if I am in a 24-bit
resolution I get a lot of extra 'noise' on screen during certain
operations:
- typing causes noise to the right of where I'm typing.
- resizing any window causes a 'ghost' of the window to appear to the
right, It's not a perfect copy, but the size of the ghost tracks the new
size of the window being resized.
- If I am resizing a transparent xterm, periodically the whole xterm
will go completely gray, and then return to normal.
In both cases the noise tends to look like either white/gray or black
lines, approximately 1/4" in length. The appear and disappear
immediately.
This is a 'Powered by ATI' type Radeon card, and I have heard of the
anecdotal stories about these cards, however, I've run the card under
other OS's and not seen this problem.
The screen is very clean in 16-bit operation, which is where I'll
probably run most of the time, but if there's a way to get this working
better, I'll be happy to try and help.
My current xconfig is attached.
Thanks,

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
