XFree86 4.1.0 + vmware ~= DGA



i hope this hasn't been discussed to death... i have a couple of
vmware 2.0.4 workstations running on woody systems over here to easy
administration of windoze systems, and since a recent dist-upgrade,
vmware complains about the X-server not having DGA acceleration or DGA
support or whatever. but:

gnome:~> xdpyinfo | grep -i DGA
    XFree86-DGA

gnome:~> dpkg -l xserver-xfree86 | grep ^ii
ii  xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-14       the XFree86 X server

they are all using the "ati" device in XF86Config-4.

i am aware that i can make this vmware dialog disappear forever, but
i also seem to actually notice a performance degradation since the
upgrade, and certain resolutions and color modes (such as the NT4
blue screen) mess up the display with colorful vertical or horizontal
lines - a mess...

any thoughts?
