Created an attachment (id=17832)

my xorg.conf

losing fonts in gnome-terminal and other font weirdnesses

Using a NV86, nouveau/master, nouveau/drm/gallium and xserver 1.4.2.
losing fonts in gnome-terminal and firefox adress bar after a while
I used to have problem with fonts, but it was fixed with commit
022a9ed5c2657466dd2471a1b29d5e8bc92ca57a "nv50: no more sync in composite()
:)".

Now I'm observing that gnome-terminal is slightly loosing fonts over the time.
Let me explain.

At first, the display is all correct, but after a few hours, text is beginning
to disappear. I noticed that the colored text is the more likely to disappear
first. Selecting the text may help to see the characters. A new gnome-terminal
opened (window not tab) does not have this problem, while the other remains
"ill".

I'm using gnome and the option "Composite" is enable in xorg.conf.

I found out that running "xcompmgr" is 90% of the time fixing the problem.

Another symptom: the Python TK interpreter, "idle" is all scrambled (screenshot
to attach).

In metacity windows, the titlebar sometimes goes like bold. It seems like the
same text is written twice with a slight shift. I attach a screenshot as soon
as it appears.

In firefox, the text of the address bar is disappearing (or turning white?)
when firefox is open for a while. Sometimes the text of the user interface
(which is more or less a Gnome application thanks to integration) is turning
white. It generally comes back by itself after a moment (or when redrawing the
screen?).

idle looks ok for me, but looks different than yours (i'll include a
screenshot). What card do you have exactly?

The commercial name is "8400M GS".

"lspci -n" gives "01:00.0 0300: 10de:0427 (rev a1)".

I think I don't experience these anymore. Though I'll reopen it in any case.

Created an attachment (id=17881)

glyph corruption in a terminal

Now the glyphs are affected. Generally a single one. Not always the same, in
different applications like gnome-terminal or openoffice.org.
