I have an ATI Mach64 Xpression PCI w/2Mb DRAM. When I try to run the
Mach64 XServer on a FreeBSD 2.1.0R system, strange things happen:
- When I try to move windows around, I get a lot of 'spurrius'
drawing, esp. lots (and lots) of diagonal lines (looks like
it is the window frames which are drawn diagonally). The lines
get drawn over both the root window and any other windows I
have up. This problem occurs no matter what wm I use (I've
tried twm and fvwm).
- I also tried the server with the '-bpp 16' option, but then
the system hangs after a few keypresses.
If anyone else have experienced this problem, I would like to hear
from you. (Especially if you have found a solution to the problems.)
