Hello I got an octane with the lower lever graphics
SE board.
I notice sometimes a kind of GREEN flickering on the screen
when for example I scroll fast the IRIX menus.
THis happens when some window is obscured by another
and they are swapped very fast from background/foreground.
is it normal?
thanks
Rick

I think it is, but I've never understood exactly why it happens. Sometimes
you get even stranger things, like when starting Blender you briefly see a
ghostly image of things that were on the screen a few minutes ago. GIMP
screenshots come out with most of the screen discoloured, too. Something to
do with overlay planes, or something?
It was much more evident on an Indy, just dragging windows around does it.
Especially with CPU Eater as wallpaper ;)

this is normal for blender: has to do with the way the foreground/backgroud
buffer
is used. i've never seen this green thing before though.
