Does anyone here observe such a problem and want to debug it?

I can barely write this because the window is flashing like crazy, mainly
all white.  Every character causes like a dozzen redraws and eachmouse
twitch does the same.  This is after I turned off blinking cursor, because
it was a strobe.  Now, at least, when I'm not doing anything, it stops.

I have no text cursor, only the mouse cursor.  This happened on a working
system that I made the terrible mistake of upgrading from X.org 6.9 to
7.3.  I have learned my lesson: never upgrade X again.  If a posr won't
work with the old X version ("Oh, your files are in the wrong place so I
won't compile because I know better than you") then it is a package I can
live without.

Please help.  It seems that FreeBSD is getting less and less reliable.  So
sad.
