I have an ELSA VICTORY ERAZOR LT with RIVA128ZX and unfortunately didn't know that I can download a special XF86_SVGA from nVidia. Instead I just used the XFree 3.3.2.3a coming with Debian 2.1. It worked fine (no problems with emacs cursor), but just in 8bit color mode... When I tried to use 16bit or higher and something changed on the screen (e.g. a moving window) often pixel errors / horizontal streaks occured which was somewhat annoying. I was _not_ able to find a solution to this problem! Changing the BIOS/AGP settings, trying different options in XF86Config, nothing worked. At last I wrote a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but got no answer. Finally I decided to give up and bought a new, better supported graphics card... :-( > First thing I want to try is to remove the hardware cursor feature, > but I could not find a way to do that. Anyone with similar experience? Shouldn't something like options "sw_cursor" in the "Device"-Section of XF86Config do the trick? Andy G. 8-)
