When do you get the snow? After you run startx, or while you're trying to
set it up (using xf86config?) When I startx (with the Mach64 server on
XFree86 v. 3.3.1-14), it started with purple visual noise and then quickly
progressed into black/white/grey snow.
The only time I my screen divided into thirds was after I upgraded to
version 3.3.2, ran xf86config, and chose the option to use the previous
XF86config setup. If you'll give more information about what's going on,
your problem will be a lot easier to fix.
