I tried 8, 16 and 24 bpp, and gave it the correct "VideoRam" parameter, and bad results. Actually, with 24bpp, the modeline seemed to be _way_ off; the left edge of the desktop was repeated every inch or so across the screen. But with 8 and 16 (and the _same_ modeline), I got the top-of-the-desktop-cut-off thing. As I said, it worked fine with the Xfree 3.3.6 XF86_SVGA server, so I'm wondering what has gone wrong with 4.0.1. :) Any other clues? Will
