Bug#191885: Corrupted fonts for S3 (Trio32) video card
Package: xserver-svga
Version: 3.3.6-44
When I start X everything looks fine except for the font. The font
looks like a few short vertical lines for each character. Others
have reported a similar problem and the XFree86 FAQ mentions that a bug
exists in some Trio32 cards regarding the font cache (in the memory of
the video card). Elsewhere, it states that version 3.2 fixed the bug by
providing a workaround if the bug is detected. Well, it's not fixed for
me. The video card worked fine with MS Windows, so the card is "OK".

I'm using a Gateway 2000 with "STB Trio 32" video card. i586 kernel
2.4.20.
Heres what is printed when I type startx:
hostname 2.08
XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: xx November 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
