I have the following two problems with my Matrox... a) The new cursor with the whiteglass theme, sometimes is rendered with a dark red colour, especially when the cursor is over a textbox or the edjes of a button. Also because I am using my Matrox dualheaded, sometimes the cursor is drawn on the second head despite the fact that the mouse cursor is on the first head. This probably has nothing to do with the colour of the cursor (if the cursor is rendered dark red or white). So sometimes my second screen may get corrupted with many cursors drawn on it, and I have to place a window over them, in order to clear it. b) Also sometimes the same happens and with anti-aliased fonts, especially when I am doing something which for example scrolls down very fast my terminal which uses anti-aliased fonts. For example if I run configure on my anti-aliased kosnole. Most of the times the fonts are drawn at the left side of my second screen, which has a smaller resolution than my first head (1024x768 instead of 1280x1024). Also the fonts which are drawn in the second head are whole lines from the application which scrolls very fast on the first head. Most of the times this happens with some mouse cursors around him, as I described in problem a). I am using mga_hal_drv.o, but probably this is not the problem, because I tried once an Xserver without loading mga_hal_drv.o and the cursor again changed colours. Without mga_hal_drv.o I can't have dualhead mode, so I don't know for the other problems. When I used Option "NoAccel" "1", everything works fine, but the server is too slow.... As I can understand this is probably a Xrender problem for the mga driver. I would like to search a bit, but I don't know how Xrender is used by the mga driver. Regards Panagiotis Papadakos
