Hello all, I'd like to bring this issue to your attention once again as it is still present in 2.6.27-rc6. Note also that I can trivially reproduce exactly the same behavior on three rather different systems. The artifacts even look similar and in all cases they disappear with 'nopat'. The systems are: Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop: - Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] - ICH4 based - Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, i386 kernel Intel desktop system: - Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2772] - ICH7 based - Pentium D processor, x86_64 kernel HP Compaq 2510p laptop: - Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] - ICH8 based - Core2 Duo processor, x86_64 kernel Have you had any luck reproducing it? > Your earlier responses did not give many clues. Well, unfortunately I can only provide the info you ask for :-) Cheers, FJP
