This is a very logical assumption. Unfortunately, it's not true.
If I try setting NoAccel, the problem still occurs; it's not even improved
(that I can tell) by setting the option.
On the other hand, I can tell that the option is doing *something*, because
the video output from mplayer (which had improved markedly with XFree86 4.2)
is very noticably inferior with the option applied.
So, alas, that's not the answer to the mystery. It's a shame; it was a very
plausible theory.
