David, I emailed my details on what I have done on two machines that are exhibiting this problem. Because these machines are different in their hardware and have not expressed the problem in the past, I dont think its a hardware issue. Before the new binutils both machines did not have this problem. I dont know if it is the binutils change that has caused this problem as I do not have the time to exhaustively test. My email was to try to get others to reproduce the problem hence I gave details on what I did. So, has anyone done the procedure I have and seen or not seen the problem where xaos version 3.0 draws garbage when renderring. (run xaos and press the 'a' key). I haven't given kernel config files or hardware details because I dont think its relevant until someone can say "I have done the steps you have outlined and I dont see you problem". I do not have time to debug this myself (I would also need to learn a few things) however, I have been running -CURRENT for more than 5 years and know that I have upgraded my software correctly and am fairly convinced that hardware is not an issue so I am reporting this problem to see if others can reproduce it as a service to the FreeBSD community (I wont even charge for it!). I also do not intend to report this to the binutils maintainers because it may be a FreeBSD issue, not a binutils issue.
