Default Xwindoos


In SL9.1 I sometimes get the screen full with vertical black and white
lines when powering the computer down. This didn't happen with previous
SL versions. It seems that XF86 in SL9.1 does not flush the video
buffer correctly.
Did anyone else make this observations, and what could be done about
it? I use an NVidea card

I have a laptop that sometimes behaves the same way when starting and
terminating an X-session. I have an ATI Radeon mobility 7500 video card.
I have no idea what causes it. It does not happen very often, so I am
not very bothered by it. I assume that there is a bug in the XFree86
server.(??)
