There have been a few posts on -misc and on the XFree86 newsgroup
reporting problems when using certain video adapters (The Voodoo 3 was
one of them) w/ XFree86 3.3.4 on CURRENT. Symptoms varied from
"pixelisation" when switching back to text mode, to "ghost" white lines
when dragging windows, etc...

After a bit of digging, I found that removing the VESA kernel option
cured the problem on my Voodoo 3 2000 PCI adapter. I would be
interesting to know whether this is the case for all other hardware?

Cheers,


PYD
