Quite starnge... I never worked with the bug report tool before and
tought that the description of the problem it asks for is supposed to be
part of the bug report (actualy why is it needed?). I'll have in mind to
describe problems manualy when sending bug reports in the future :}

It can be described so, but the exact way it's not working is something
i have never seen before. Programs start and work normaly, have sound,
interact with keyboard and mouse, but instead of normal graphic output
there is just a single colored screen/window. In most cases it is black,
but in Tux Racer and Chromium it was blue (turning red in Chromium when
actual game takes place). The only difrence was Vega Strike where text
messages and main crosshair are visible on black background.
I tested the problem on several machines (k6-2+/550,ALI
Alladin,1024RAM,Radeon 7200QD/32M; Duron/750,VIA,350RAM
,Radeon 7500VE/32M and T-Bird/1.2,AMD-761,512RAM/Radeon 7500VE/64M). All
of thwm have different Unstable instalations (altrough package
sellection is similar). All of them worked nice before upgrading X to
4.2.1-5 and after downgrating it to 4.2.1-4. Also one of those
instalations is used sometimes on another PC - P4/1.6 with GeForce 4.
The upgraded version that has problems with Radeon works nice with
nVidia drivers there. In several days i can be able to test if it works
on Voodoo 3.
I suppose data in the report can be insuficent to figure what is the
priblem. Please tell me if there is something else that can help.
