I installed new versions of the fonts and tried various window managers and the display problem was still present. I do not believe that you did anything wrong. The XFree86 3.3.6 works fine with my old Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3). I would love to get my ATI 128 card to work, but it will stay on the shelf until someone has time to finish fixing whatever is wrong with XFree86 3.3.6. The Xfree86 3.3.4 and this card would not even allow X to start. So there has been improvement. I sent a report to xfree86@x.physics.usyd.edu.au and got an automated response assuring me that the message has been forwarded to the development team.
