The problem is caused whenever , from the view of the Xorg process, the system time goes backwards.

But that does not explain why so do many of the reports indicate this duplication does not happen in other desktop systems (not running kde, and not running kde apps) under say, twm? Would it be instructive if I booted to runlevel 3 and hacked a way to start X with CPU affinity?

if you can not reproduce it between the original 10.1 kernel but reproduce it with a later 10.1 kernel, then diffing the rpm -q --changelog might help to track down which patch causes the problem for you.

I have the issue as well, it is reproduceable with any kernel older than 10.1,

Actually, I believe all the reports state that 10.1 first kernel is the beginning of the problem, and nobody reports this in 10.0, and nobody reports it in any other distro.

I have the issue as well, it is reproduceable with any kernel older than 10.1,but it usually goes away after a while. But as I'm forced to run the NVIDIA binary driver I can not report the bug.

In my case, and many of the other reports it is not reproduceable on anthing but 10.1, and it never goes away. (Well, not true, I experience brief periods of non-duplicating characters, intermingled with totally unusable duplication, but this does not "go away after a while".) Unsolicited pontification: As for being forced to run Nvidia blobs, I would like to point out that market statistics indicate that Nvidia accounts for 25% of the video chipset market, ATI accounts for another 25%, and Intel, (also non-open source) about 30% of the low end market. One can quickly see that declining bug reports from 50 to 80% of the market is not good. Especially when your distro is the only one reporting these problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
