Hi again, I'm running CURRENT-20000101-4.0 on a AXPpci33. I'm using an old Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI video card, it reports as a Matrox MGA 1064SG rev 2. When I do X windows stuff, I get a *lot* of wierd graphics "artifacts" drawn on the screen. I've tried both the standard XF86_SVGA 335 and the new 336 servers, and both fvwm2 and twm. Same thing any way I try it. When I start up netscape, lots of junk gets drawn on the screen, mainly horizontal lines. In addition, when I use pull-down menus that overlap an X window and the menu goes away it leaves the artifact of the part that overlapped that window there. It's like the window's not getting redrawn properly. Just wondering if this behavior was a known problem or if I've managed to mess something up. Or do I simply need a different video card :^) TIA, FreeBSD on the Alpha is super!
