Things which are drawn on your graphic display have something, as
it happens, to do with your display driver and its configuration.
Such driver handles also such details as acceleration, cursors -
hardware or software, offscreen video memory, etc...
BTW - did you try to see what will happen if you will turn
SWcursor option on? By default is off.
I highly doubt that the display driver is related at all. Key-press events
are not recognised at all for the erratically focused window, but for
other components of the desktop environment.
Btw, I have not updated my driver for a long time, since the mga
driver in FC6 Test is suffering from a very bad DoS.
$ grep exc /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo
exclude=xorg-x11-drv-mga
There's an open ticket about that which is sort of like /dev/null.
