I'm just greatful you had those urls! Thanks a million, Pablo! The "noaccel"
option in my config file did the trick and made all the windows solid. I
would still be very much interested in seeing how you've got your config set
up as there are still some inconsistincies in my display. A million times
better now though. One simple line...
For anyone else who is having strange problems with a Trident Video87-AGP,
try adding Option = "noaccel" to your Device section in XF86Config. That's
what it took for me. Thanks again Pablo!
