Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I'm back to running the mga driver instead of the vesa one. I had to do
two things to make it "work":
1. rename /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal_drv.o to something else
so that the loader can't find it. I should probably just delete it...
2. turn off DRI, as was suggested by a few people:
Section "Device"
...
Option "DRI" "False"
...
EndSection
One thing that is interesting, and I had noticed earlier, when I did the
change to the vesa driver, is that a bunch of fonts are being rendered
at different sizes. I think that these are mostly the MS_TTF ones. I'm
not sure which one is correct, but they're larger under the mga driver
than they were under the vesa. The resolution is the same in both
cases: the system determines it by interrogating the monitor with I2S,
apparently.
Thanks all,
