I've had a serious problem this past week. I did an update last week, and after rebooting, I noticed an odd bar of scrambled graphics at the top of the screen in gdm/gnome. When I moved the mouse the bar would change, my keyboard would lock, etc. I ended up removing everything, and reinstalling clean. For the past 3 nights everything has been fine. Until I updated my ports today. From console I watched the system upgrade GDM, DBUS and XSCREENSAVER. I shutdown, restarted my machine, and as soon as the gdm login screen appears I see this scrambled bar of color at the top of the screen. It looks like the mouse is somehow causing data to write directly to the display. I can still see my mouse pointer, and everything seems to be fine (keyboard works), but this bar of about 20-50 pixels full of random colors wont go away. The minute I move the mouse those lines are filled with colors. I tried disabling dbus. This didn't help. I removed, and reinstalled gdm, nothing. I removed and reinstalled xscreensaver, still nothing. I know those were the only threee ports upgraded. Does anyone know what's going on? releng_6 intel cpu sata drives usb mouse/keyboard gnome2 all ports up to date kernel/world up to date nvidia 5900fx all worked fine a few hours ago :) I can send a screenshot if anyone would like to see the problem.
