Does that just happen in 3.6.11 or even in 3.13? If the latter, that
points to some key lack of understanding of... something. With
noaccel, we're not using pgraph or anything fancy -- it's just a
framebuffer, basically. So if we can't even render _that_ right...

Hopefully someone else will pipe up re your other issues -- my
knowledge base on this is exhausted :(
