I am having the same trouble with a T4000W32p chip under whatever version of XFree came with 2.0.5 on the CDROM, using the SVGA server. When I move the mouse pointer across the screen it seems to scrape off more of the surface, and there are "holes" as well where letters (e.g. in Netscape) are incomplete. This chip is on a Diamond Stealth 32 card, which is trouble all its own, but I can program the card's dot clocks and get 1240x768 as well as 800x600 and 640x480. I haven't succeeded in making the _32 server work with this video card. Is this a video memory problem, perhaps? Annelise andrsn@hoover.stanford.edu
