Hmmm.... I have had this problem way back even with the early SNAPs. But
then again, my video card is S3C805 (I think it's rev D or something).
Anyway, this problem never happened when I used the old ISA Trident video
card using the SVGA server, so I believe it must be something specific to
the S3 Server and is triggered by xdm.
Which S3 chip is used in the Diamond Stealth 64?
