: Yes, I've been using it for some time inexactly this configuration.
: On the other hand, you may be looking in the wrong place: this looks
: like a mismatch between Emacs and the X server (assuming you're using
: the X version) or the terminal emulator (assuming you're not).  I run
: XInside to a different machine (BSD/OS), and this may account for the
: differences.

Interesting data point.  I'll have to keep that in mind.

It's happen on *BOTH* the X server version and identically oddly in
the xterm that I'm running on an NCD X Terminal or xterm that ships
with Solaris 2.5.1 and the xterm that is in X11R6.1 built on Solaris
2.5.1.  The xterms behaved the same displayed on my XFree86 3.2.1
server and on Solaris' openwindows server (Haven't tried the X server
that gets built as part of X11R6.1).  I don't have any real, working
VT100s to try it on.

The paint glitches only seem to happen with auto-fill-mode turned on.
Otherwise everything is fine, that I've noticed.

So you've been using it in built with the 2.6.3 compiler?
Interesting.  Very interesting.

: I'm currently on vacation, and I'm accessing freefall via an Atari
: using vt100 emulation (well, supposedly).  It has *lots* of trouble
: with Emacs 19.29, and I continually have to redisplay the screen.
: Other programs, such as elm and vi, don't seem to have any problems.

I had a lot of problems on the console of my machine (not in X) with
emacs 19.29 as well.  It is much better than the emacs that was in
2.0R, however.
