Occasionally (like twice a week) I get some random display corruption at the bottom right part of the screen (actually, at both my screens - i run bigdesktop/pairmodes). The display corruption does not show up in a screen shot. The best way to describe it would be "random but static memory contents being used as a bitmask for inverting pixels", i.o.w. it looks like random static garbage that will invert the colours of whatever is shown in that area.
I just recently stumbled upon http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ntry&item=4100 which shows some photos of a "logo" config option, and I'm pretty sure this is related to the display corruption I'm seeing -- it's in the exact same spot (lower right corner). (To make it perfectly clear, I don't use this "logo" feature, have never used it, wasn't even aware that it existed until right now)
When this happens, it's typically coupled with some random corruption of the mouse pointer.
A quick fix, that hasn't failed yet, is to switch to the text console (ctrl+alt+f1) and back again.
Is anyone else getting this?
