I've built this driver into XF86_SVGA (albeit with all the other
drivers too - rather than just ``generic'') and I can get X up at 16
bits in 800x600, *but* I get a lot of horizontal lines across my
screen - kind of like a huge thin horizontal smear (it's not there
when an empty xterm takes up the entire screen, but when I add some
text, I start getting the lines).
I've tried changing the Frequency from 40.0 - to no avail. This has
obviously got nothing to do with it.
I know very little about X - perhaps someone can say ``Ahh, those
horizontal lines are because....'' (and fill in the ....) ?
FWIW, the text in the xterm is crystal clear at 16 bpp, but the
characters are like blobs of mud at 8 bpp.
