Gents (ladies???)

After switching my machine to an Asus P55TP4XE with a Digital S3 928-based
VGA card I have strange phenomena on my console:

- in text mode e.g. with elm or when switching virtual screens there remain
characters from the 'previous' screen on the 'new' screen. Pressing eg ^L
when in vi or elm cures the picture.

- when in X some random bits in the root window seem to be flipped.

System is on 205R BTW and works like a charm otherwise.

Any suggestions on this one?
