Hello people,
Thought I might mention that the X server for this graphics card (the S3
Trio3D/2X) requires you to manually set the sw_cursor option to avoid having a
big white square instead of the cursor (by editing the XF86config file)
Is this something you could 'know' automatically? Because most Mandrake users
wouldn't think to look through the XF86config and find the comment that tells
you to set this option...
Furthermore, it seems that the newest Netscape is still allergic to the typing
of large comments into these textbox widgets (as in HTML text boxes) and
ld-linux.so eventually manages to crash X-windows (as other users have suggested
in the past). The only way to stop your computer from crashing totally is to
notice the moment the mouse goes sluggish and killall -9 ld-linux.so.whatever
it's called... this is probably an evil and unacceptable bug.
