nada.  I don't have enough vram for 24 bit, but trying 16 at all
different resolutions doesn't work.  And moving the window doesn't
have any effect.  I was using 15 bit depth because that's what dtv
requires.  

Here's a clue: I retried running 'dga' (the test program) for the
first time since upgrading to 3.3.2.  It has always only worked for me
at 8 bit -- not 15 or 16 -- but now it successfully causes a reboot.
Does dga work for others?

"Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM v2.09" is what the chip says.

Anyone else using fxtv with such an S3 video card?
