next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am trying to configure an S3Virge DX for XFree86. When X loads, the
screen looks fine initially, except for the mouse, which has some odd
corruption around it. As I move the mouse around, start programs, or do
anything that changes the screen, the areas of the screen that change do
not seem to refresh properly.
In addition, just after I start X, and an instant before the X interface
actually begins, I see my text console get corrupted. It almost looks
like the monitor is shifting everything roughly 3 inches to the right,
and wrapping lines around the screen. Text near the bottom of the
screen gets corrupted.
I have tried using the following options, with no success:
noaccel True
Xvideo False
SWCursor True
But I don't know enough about the other options to guess which I should
try.
Below is my XF86Config file. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
