That's all good to hear but I can't get my G400 behave correctly when
using Xfree 3.3.5. The G400 will be recognized and all is well until I
launch xterm, and do some ls -la in the xterm. The xterm window goes
black and doesn't come back. Same for launching some 3D demo, for
example gears. The window, or even root windows goes black and I can't
see anything running in the window. It happens either with glx module
loaded or not.
I've tried to use the 3.3.5 binaries from Xfree official site, built the
3.3.5 myself from the ports and by hand but no difference. The card I
have is G400 with 32MB of memory and it works very well under Xfree beta
3.9.16 except for 3D.
Does it sound like a bug in the XFree 3.3.5?
