Which version of XFree86 are you using? I had understood that some AGP cards had problems unless you were using 3.3.3. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I read this. I do know that 3.3.2 works beautifully with my STB Velocity 128 AGP card.

Diamond A50 AGP vidio card with 8Meg ram Asus P5A with AMDK6 350 Mag DXT17T monitor. SVGA Server

I am still haveing weird problenms with the image on the monitor. When using the SVGA server and a standard startx All text areas of the screen are black on black. this does not hapen with VGA_16.

If I uncomment out Line 507 in xf86config , No accelleration , the sistuation improves , in that text is now visabl , but in balck letters on green back ground.Thw main window background is still in balck ( should be whit)

If I use startx -- -bpp16 It gets a little better, However on using the desk top , ie bring up the yellow sticky note and closing it , the area behind the sticky note is balck.

if you bring up a few windows .. n\move them , close them ect... You get some balck and white horizontal streeking , or just black wibndows. Some are streeked , sometime black back ground.

Suse Tech on thirsday , thought it had to do with Color Depth or its not detecting the right amont of Vidio ram.

WhenI uncommented Line 506 Vidioram 8192 and restart starx , instead of a mouse pionter I get a one inch square white box.

Any Ideas Any one ??

thanks
