Indeed, not even with the > driver after that (it refused to suspend). I have this problem under debian etch and SuSE. It seems to be do to a combination of the ATI Proprietary drivers and a 1680x1050 display resolution. I does not happen when I use a 1280x1024 monitor. It also happens when I don't have emacs running. Overlapped urxvt and mlterm (but not xterm windows) will show the effect when they are the bottom of two overlapping windows and are scrolled. I think is a problem (among many others) with the ATI proprietary drivers. -- Barry Fishman
