However it doesn't look healthy! I have an ATI 3D Xpression with the Rage II+ chip (4MB EDO RAM) and a Sceptre P511 monitor. When I go to 16 bpp I see a flickering line about three inches from the left of the screen for the entire height. 24bpp is even worse. I am using the Mach64 server, it seems to work great in 8bpp with the exception of xfmail and Netscape FLOPPING around colors like MAD!!! (argh!)
It sounds like you maybe overdriving your monitor. Check the spec for it and make sure that XFree is set up properly.
Everything seems kosher; I picked the wrong card definition, I chose 3D Xpression whereas the 3D Rage II+ (Internal) was just on the next screen. No difference, from what I see. My monitor documentation says 30-66 and 50-120 and works fine on 8bpp. If this was happening in Wingdings I would say it's a buggy video driver. I don't know what it is now... I played a bit with xvidtune, I figured if I shrunk the screen area it wouldn't be hitting the monitor so hard, but that's not the case, no difference.
