[directly replying to the list, so no quoting]

Running an IBM A30p , i830MP, ATI Radeon Mobility-M6 32MB.
OS : RH 7.2 + assorted RawHides (kernel 2.4.18-0.12, XFree 4.2.0-6.45).


1.

I am not exactly experiencing lockups, however there is heavy and rapid
screen blanking/flashing when switching between X, VT's, and/or full
screen VMware DGA2 sessions.

- This is temporarily solved by using the energy-saving LCD-panel
switch-off by means of the keyboard shorcut (Fn-F3), until the next VT
switch.


2.

I notice heavy screen corruption in the mouse pointer vicinity when
running VMware 3.x (Win2K guest) in full-screen, which implements DGA 2.0.

- This occurs with stock XFree86 4.2.0, RedHat 4.2.0-6.45 rpms, and
4.2.99.x CVS (20020329) ;
- This behaviour does *not* occur when using the GATOS ati.2 4.2.0 CVS
drivers (http://gatos.sourceforge.net).


3.

Running a 1280x1024 (or lower) RTCW ("Return to Castle Wolfenstein")
OpenGL/Mesa session in a native 1600x1200 X-resolution relocates the
application to the lower left of the screen instead of using the screen
expansion feature.



Kind Regards,
Didier
