Setting the depth to 16 and without the other two options causes a 
slight refresh on up and down scrolling.

Adding from comment 28 of bug 132267 seems to eliminate the up and down 
scrolling refresh error.

  Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect"
  Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy"

Also, listed in comment 29 is this option. There was a different option 
that helped with other problems detected by John.

    Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill"
