I have installed the current XFree86 4.x port on my machine. My box has an 8 MB Matrox G200 AGP graphics card inside. I have built the port with the MATROX_GXX_DRIVER (or whatever) option. I'm using a 1600x1200x24 resolution. XFree86 works only mostly fine, but I have two problems: First, the graphics card's memory is not cleared when X starts. When I do a reboot, I have lots of graphics crap on the X screen when starting X. I have to resize and move some windows around to actually be able to see something (even the opened windows look crappy until I resize them). Doing a cold-boot (i.e. switching the machine off and on again) does not show this effect. Is there a way to force X to clear the video memory? Second, each time when X does a graphics card access (e.g. scrolling) while playing music on my ISA soundcard (Creative AWE64), I can actually hear a very short delay in the sound, as if the bus is congested in some way and cannot deliver audio data fast enough. I didn't have any of those problems before using XFree86 3.x. I had the problem with XFree86 4.x on FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and still on 4.5-RELEASE. Any ideas? Greetings, Thomas.
