I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5, XFree 3.1.2 with a Diamond Stealth64 (S3 968, Ti3026),
16bpp mode.

Works great, except everything on the screen is shifted left four pixels, so that
whatever belongs at the far left four pixels on the screen gets displayed as the far
right four pixels, and the farthest right four pixels on the bottom line are black.

It's as if the S3 driver is using a base address for the screen that is by a few
bytes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
