Hi Tom, I allready have the nvidia drivers installed (185.18.14) and also a very new mesa driver (7.5.1) and tried 7.5.2 without any success. Greg Couch told me to try an other graphic card, so I think I have to try this... I will open a bug report for this issue later, if there are no other suggestions. Regards Mario
The surface display bug is a bug in Mesa which is the OpenGL used by linux if you have no driver installed. We call this the sliced bread bug. Here's the bug report:

and the fix:
"Fixed by installing graphics driver. Incorrect surface rendering caused by vertex buffer object bug in Mesa 6.5.1."
