Sounds like what I get with XFree86 3.2, 3.2A, 3.3 on my FreeBSD (2.1.5 and
2.2.1) system with the ATI Mach64 driver...that plus some kernel panic
complaining about a "recursive_lock" on my 2nd try at running the server. It
does however work if I give it '-bpp 16' instead of the default -bpp
8...probably unrelated to what you're seeing, but I couldn't resist the
opening to mention it again :-(
