Hi,

I hope somebody can help me with this...I'm running XFree86 on
top of RedHat Linux 4.1 with an S3 Trio64V2/DX PCI video card and an
Optiquest Q53 15" monitor. I used the XF86Setup (with XF86 3.3.2 +
patch 3)
program to configure the X Server for my video hardware. Whenever I
start up the X Windows environment and start moving windows around, the
screen
gets flooded with "snow" and other junk (i.e. colored pixels, short
vertical bars, dots, _everywhere_). Is there some sort of
incompatibility
that someone can think of right off the top of his/her head? Such as
picking the wrong monitor horiz. & vert.frequencies and refresh rates in

XF86Setup, or picking the wrong video card chipset? I would really
appreciate any input on this matter...thanks a bunch.

You didn't mention your motherboard, but I had a similar problem with
an Abit BH6. Moving the S3 to another PCI slot finally solved the
problem. It might work for you too.
