My knowledge is kinf of flacky in the area, so here is the way I understand it.
Gpus do not always treat and/or use memory on a linear way. It may be handled
as a tile with certain dimensions

Yes I meant the framebuffer. Not sure of many ways to draw stuff on it -
directFB is project that normally deals with such things [1]. My main point is
to understand if the issue is xf86-video-nouveau or libdrm/kernel related

I meant rendering images of different sizes. Looking at the iceweasel.png at
bugs.debian.org indicates not everything rendered exhibits the distortion -
would be great to know something specific about the files causing it
Simple tests
* grab the ice weasel picture, open it in a image viewer (and/or browser) -
distorted ?
* rescale the image (using gimp or other software), reopen the picture and
observe.
* same for the cursor file
Cheers
