 Ditto here.
 
 Last night I updated a desktop and have garbage (or call it a visual
 noise if you will) in my windows all the time now.
 
 Nevertheless, I upgraded a laptop -- and can't use X here at all:
 while the mouse pointer moves, the keyboard is "dead", until some
 number of key presses leads to a loud continuous beep; I can switch to
 the non-X virtual consoles but the beep continues and I have to reboot
 the system to kill the sound.
 
 Disabling HAL doesn't make things much better, although in my current
 configuration I don't have a continuous sound and can experiment.
 
 Putting `xev' into ~/.xsession, I observed that all (?) the keystrokes
 result in "keysym 0x0".
 
 Bottom line: the X system is unusable after the upgrade; no diagnostic
 tool that I tried provides a clue about how to make it work.
