Humm... I'm using xemacs, and that one "looses" the cursor (it stays put on
screen, while moving through the file; or dissapears altogether or shows
only as a 1-pixel high line), and the screen refresh lags behind sometimes
(i.e., using mh-e when scrolling the window with the message headers
doesn't scroll the last line until some time later, if at all). xpdf is
also misbehaving, in that paging forward or scrolling updates most of the
screen, but a narrow band at the top and a wide one (varies, from somewhat
less than 1/2 screen to around 1/3 or a character height) at the bottom
isn't updated, or only updated later.

I've been on rawhide on this x86_64 dual core machine from its beginnings
(July or so), intel graphics.
