1 Folks,
2
3 I have an interesting problem -- not sure what's causing it.
4
5 Using xfce4 + compiz -- nothing too fancy. When I open an xterm and
6 start typing, I start getting 'artifacts' (specifically green lines
7 between the various letters I'm trying) in my xterm.
8
9 The only way to "fix" this is to either:
10
11 (a) move the window (doesn't solve the problem if I start typing again
12 in the terminal)
13 (b) resize the window (this will solve the problem for all text
14 present and future entered in terminal)
15 (c) ...uhmm, nothing else
16
17 I thought it was a font size problem -- my Xdefaults is configured to
18 have some pretty tiny fonts.
19
20 XTerm*faceName: Monospace
21 XTerm*faceSize: 10
22 !XTerm*faceSize: 9
23
24 Modifying the font size, however, did not resolve the issue. The
25 problem persists.
26
27 Thoughts / ideas? This is happening on all the computers I've recently
28 built, not just this one.
