Interestingly; I've noticed this with X on Woody running on ATI Mach64
hardware. It appears at 1280x1024, but is OK at 1024x768. I haven't
been able to collect enough data to file a bug report of any usefulness
with the X folks. Additionally; I'm not sure that I can provide enough
info to be of any use. Has anyone else noticed this with Mach chipsets
with X in Debian3.0?
