Is this related to scrolling? I have a problem with scrolling on my Dell
notebook running Ubuntu. It actually only happens when connected to an
external monitor, and then _usually_ only if I forget to turn on the
external monitor until after it's booted. Any window that scrolls goes
black in the scrolled portion. The window redraws itself correctly if I
minimize and restore, or if I move another window in front of it
temporarily. Restarting the X server does not help. The only cure for
this maddening condition is to reboot.
