Hello everybody!
As I said in a previous message, I installed -current (1998-01-24 SNAP) on my
laptop, with XFree86 v3.3.1
The laptop has a Cirrus Logic CL-GD7548 SVGA chip with 1 MB memory and an
800x600 DSTN LCD panel.
When I start the X server, the screen appears (about) 70 pixel shifted to the
right, with a black border on the left side, and a lot of (waving) horizontal
stripes.
Luckly, if I switch the output to the external monitor connector and than back
to the LCD, it becames perfectly clear and stable, without the 70 pixels offset.
BTW, if I press CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch back to the console while te screen is in
the "weird" state, I get a weird console :) What I mean is that I get an almost
all white console, with whiter characters here and there, but repeated 3 times
in 3 big horizontal stripes.
Of course, if I switch the output the console goes fine...
Moreover, it works perfectly after a suspend (I'm using the SaveToDisk feature
of the Phoenix Bios).
I'm really stymied... Well, that's not a Big Problem(tm), you know, it works,
you just have to remember to switch out then in again the VGA output, but...
I include here the relevant parts of XF86Config and the X server output:
