I upgraded one of the workstations here from XFree86 3.3.6 to XFree86
4.2.0 (I removed all X related files before the update). I upgraded
via locally build packages. After updating the XF86Config file, the
display is fine except for a small area near the top that is sheared
to the left.
I tried diddling the "Options" settings for the ATI Mach64 GB card,
various mode lines with hsync and vsync off and on, etc.
Everything I do makes no significant difference.
This machine is a Dell Dimension which was running great with XFree86
3. I moved up to XFree86 4 to run KDE3.
The box on which the package was build has the same video chip, but is
not a Dell. The only difference in the XF86Config file is the monitor
section. The file is based on the output from X -configure.
Anyone have any ideas on what else to try?
Tis is the XF86Config on the machine which has the display problem.
The resolution chosen doesn't matter, either.
