Re: X S3 bug?

I'm using the S3 X server and the display doesn't map quite right.
It seems to be off by a small number of pixels (leaving a slim
vertical bar across the far right of the display). This is
sporadic behavior, sometimes it "snaps" into proper alignment and
sometimes it snaps out.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?
Dear Norman,
At http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/index.html you'll find:
Q.C1- The mouse cursor doesn't display in the right position
If the cursor appears to be horizontally offset by several pixels, it
is probably due to the same problems that cause the display to be
wrapped around. See item D1 below.
Q.D1- Part of the Displayed Image is Wrapping-around or is Duplicated
on the Other Side of the Screen
For Diamond Stealth Video VRAM: if the server is not recognizing your
card as a Diamond card, add this line to your XF86Config:
Option "Diamond"
If the above does not work or you don't have a Diamond card, try
running the xvidtune program and adjusting various settings. In
particular, if you have a recent S3 based card, adjust the extra
S3-specific settings at the bottom.
Good luck,
John
