This is the same laptop I had (and reported exactly the same issue some time ago). Now that you have it you're experiencing the same problem. The difference now is that you're running RedHat (I had FreeBSD installed) and drawterm-linux (I had drawterm-freebsd).. What's the same is XFree86 and the video hardware -- S3. I believe it was assumed to be a race in XFillRectangle somewhere... So we blame XF86 and S3 for it -- I haven't had any problems running drawterm with either Radeon 7500 or NVidia TNT2... andrey
