Back
I run RHL9 on an IBM Thinkpad T30 that uses the ATI Radeon Mobility 7500.
Under KDE (not sure whether under Gnome, since I don 't use it), I often
have situations where an application (say pine) clears the screen of the
Konsole window, but leaves behind scattered characters across the terminal
window. It then paints the terminal window with new information, with
these characters intermingled.
If I now do something to cause the window to be redrawn (by dragging the
window offscreen, or changing virtual desktops back and forth), the
garbage disappears, leaving behind the legit data in the window.
This seems to be specific to the Radeon, since it doesn 't happen on other
machines I use (with 845, Matrox G200, etc. displays).
Any clues on how to fix this?
Also (possibly related) - when I am on battery power, the screen often
blanks out (under APM, I think), and then I can 't get the display back
unless I suspend and unsuspend.
