Rendering problems when updating xorg-server

hello,

i'm trying to update from xorg-server 1.1.1-r5 to 1.2.0-r3,
but
i run into strange rendering issues in my terminals (both
eterm,xterm).

there are serious problems to display correctly keyboard 
cursor on terminal - its position on display is not
correspondent 
with actual position on the line and when editing lines
many
strange thing happens with displaying (eg. red color of
passed chars).
also standard square shape of cursor is often destroyed and
focus
of active window is not indicated by filling cursor.

secondly - not so problematic - when switching from one
dekstop to another
background of terminal of eterm is not correctly painted,
C^L usually helps.

has anobody run into similar problems or has anybody idea
what went wrong ?

thanks,
pavel

Which graphics card/driver are you using? I had similar
problems with
nvidia drivers some time ago (it was different update,
thought). Only
using the nv driver helped out (with loss of 3D, sadly).

Is it your case?
