I've got an ATI Xpert@play on SuSE 5.3 (XFree 3.3.2.3), I'm using the XF86_Mach64 server, and KDE as my desktop. The ATI doesn't look too great to me. I get frequent screen glitches (scrambled windows) and most annoying of all when the screensaver kicks in there is a huge white vertical rectangle stuck on top of it with the top of the rectangle positioned just where the mouse pointer is hiding. It isn't affected by my having sw_cursor enabled or disabled in XF86Config.
I am running a 1024x768 interlaced display (8514/A compatible monitor)
BTW the graphics card lives on an AOpen AX59pro motherboard (Super Socket 7, AGP)
Why am I having these problems and there's no mention of similar problems on any newsgroups or mailing lists I've looked at?
I don't know, but I've never seen anything like you describe here. Did you set up your X server with SaX? When I upgraded to 5.3 I tried SaX and it set me up with a screen that had a slight distortion along the top edge. I replaced my XF86Config with the file that I'd been using under 5.2 (created with XF86Setup) and everything was fine again. If you'd like a copy of my XF86Config, drop me a line.
