Very Computer

Hi all,

  My TGUI9440 1MB card used to work perfectly: 800x600, 16 bit color,
  cursor etc. I was forced to upgrade to XFree86 3.2 las Dec. 1st and
  now I have little color spots sparckled about my screen (perhaps the
  holliday season ?)

  Has anyone had the same problem ? Has anyone solved it ?

  Your help will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Xavier.

I'got the same problem with my Trident 9420Dgi PCI and sorry, no idea
for a solution. The XF86setup work fine but i cannot obtain a stable image
from any server (VGA or SVGA)

Any ideas ?

Anyway, *part* of the solution is to include a line reading

Options         "hw_cursor"

in  the  device  section  of  your  XF86Config  file.   It will then use
hardware cursor support rather than software cursor support.  This  will
reduce  the  number  of  dots  left on the screen drastically.  However,
*occasional* dots on the canvas/imperfections in twm's menus REMAIN.   I
have not been able to fix this.

Xfree86  is  about  the  best  thing  since sliced bread, so who am I to
criticize them...  so I won't.  But I *do* wonder  why  the  latest  and
greatest  stable  version  seems  to  suffer from problems that were not
present in the 3 (!) beta (!) servers I have been using.

Best regards,
Bo.

Try using

Option "tgui_pci_write_off" (I Think)
