Hello,

on a FreeBSD-2.2.1 PC with a Matrox Mystiqe and XFree86-3.3 (XF86_SVGA)
some clients like emacs and gdb fail: they start but nothing appears, no
error message. 'ps' and 'top' tells emacs in state 'select'. The X-server
runs a bit amok (99% CPU). If emacs is killed, X continues to run amok.

If I use se same PC as a X-terminal (X -query remote) instead, any client
started at the remote machine works ok.
