With all of the test releases for fc3, and continuing with rc2, I see
weird font artifacts in gvim and openoffice, most noticeably.  They may
happen elsewhere, but I can't think of where off the top of my head.
http://bbkeys.sourceforge.net/images/screenshot-gvim-funkyfonts.jpg
shows an example of gvim doing something weird with the fonts.  This
happens if I delete a line, for example, and then scroll down with the j
or down key.  Here's an example of openoffice's weird font problems--
this is just the menu, but the text inside of a document does the same
kind of thing:  http://bbkeys.sourceforge.net/images/screenshot-ooffice-
funkyfonts.jpg

Is this what the original poster is talking about, or is this something
else entirely?

My hardware is an IBM A31 laptop with a Radeon 7500 card with a "ICH3M:
IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1".
