I am sorry to have taken so long to reply, but I wanted to have something
to report, and although I have more UNIX/Linux experience than I care to
admit, this was my first experience with CVS.  

So, over night last night I down loaded the XFree-4.2 release candidate,
built it this morning on my dual processor, and installed on my Toshiba
laptop.  I just rebooted the system and I am pleased to report that the
driver fixes you made have solved my problems.

There are  no artifacts on the  display and it looks  great.  Also, even
though my glance through the  driver code indicates that acceleration is
off by  default on the chip  in this system my  subjective impression is
that the display is is significantly faster.  I guess scribbling all the
artifacts must have slowed things down.   I will continue testing but so
far I am very well pleased with the driver.

I appreciate your efforts, and  congratulate you on your improvements to
the Cyberblade driver.
