window refresh

[Erik Wanta]

I am running the latest version of icfb with XFree86 4.3. The
schematic is net getting refreshed. That is, if I descend down the
hierarchy, I have to hit "f" to fit the window and get the schematic
to display. Is anyone else seeing this and have any ideas for
solutions?

Pete:
Disabling hardware acceleration does get the window to refresh. Do
you have any information on when a permanent fix will be available?

ATI Radeon hardware

Because this describes exactly the problem we've seen that is fixed
that
way. The fact that you do not see the problem with the nVidia card
seems
to confirm this.

The instructions I have for turning off hardware acceleration are:

1. Turn off hardware acceleration on your video card.

To do this, as root edit the file: /etc/X11/SF86Config-4
and find the section:

Section "Device"
Identifier "<graphics card/chip name>"
Driver "<graphics driver name>"
VendorName "<graphics vendor name>"
BoardName "<graphics board name>"
EndSection

and add the line:

Option "noaccel"

2. Restart X Server:

Hold Control and Alt keys and Click on "Back Space" key.

Even after disabling hardware acceleration, it still doesn't udpate
the screen all the time. If I run some SKILL to more figures it
updates, but if I hit Design->Discard Edits... it doesn't.

We don't have anything to do with the chipsets and drivers for PC/Linux
display cards. The problem isn't in our software, so we cannot fix it.

I don't know if the problem has been reported to ATI.
