I cannot find any relevant documentation in xfree.org. I have tried changing the color depth and/or the resolution with XFdrake, and using the options 'nobitblt' and 'sw_cursor' in the config file (I suppose this is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4), but this does not solves the problem. Maybe the problem is related to the config file? Or with the config file made by XFdrake for ati Match64 video cards? There are changes in the X config file between LM 8.1 and LM 8.2? Any suggestions? Thanks �scar.
