Ok, I took some screenshots:

The first screen shot shows a full desktop. The black pixels are the
artifacts I'm referring to.

The second is a picture taken with my mobile phone, a close up of the
"Start Here" icon. Pretty useless.

Its funny you mentioned the VESA driver in your earlier email. Today I
built a PXES with the VESA driver. The artifacts don't appear when using
the VESA driver.

Interestingly enough, the artifacts only seem to appear when the mouse
motion contains some "west" element. If i very carefully move the mouse
only North, South or East, the artifacts do not appear.

The VESA driver is working fine for us right now, so I'm happy. PXES
really is a great piece of work. IMO it is far better than the new WYSE
Linux v6, which comes pre-installed on these terminals.

I would still like to nail this issue with the nsc driver, if anyone is
interested.

Thanks for the help so far,

Cheers,

Dan
