Same problem with Trident here. I finally downloaded XSVGA.tgz 3.3.3.1 from
one of the Free86 ftp mirrors and replaced the Xserver of the 3.3.5 deps.
It was a huge performance boost to use Option "accel" again. Without accel
it's just a pain :)
Ohh, wait I use 32ppp, 16bbp did not work with 3.3.3.1 for me.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
