We have 30+ channels (and growing). Really, I have no problem with
frequencies. My frequency counter and oscilloscope use frequencies. Channels
are for consumers ;-) ;-)

Mine is:
Width: 1280
Height: 1024
Depth: 24
Visual Class: TrueColor
It is a plain Millenium II PCI with 8Mb. My desktop is 1024x1280. Video mode
is also 1280x1024. Or do I miss your point?

When I run tv-dgatest things become a real mess. A sort of staircase
originating in the left upper corner, moving to the right hand bottom
corner. Sort of defies description. :/

I also have 3.3.4 server:
The XFree86 Project, Inc server version 334 on :0.0 (from x11perf).
In my case "dgafbtest -f 1024" gives me the yellow L shaped lines
in the exact corners of the screen. Omitting the -f 1024 the 2 righthand
L are offset about 1/8 of the screenwidth to the left.

I guess so. Do you have a bug ID that I can refer to? I'd happily
report the problem to Xfree.
