Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-15
Severity: important

When the glint driver is used with the frame buffer, it always forces
vertical and horizontal sync high, regardless of the mode specification.
So given the following setup, the frame buffer is told to switch
to the same mode but with +HSync and +VSync.

Reading the code online, the offending code is in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/driver/glint/glint_driver.c
lines 2024-2033.

The frame buffer originally did not switch to low sync correctly, but
this has been fixed for some time in 2.2 and 2.4. The code is therefore
(a) redundant and (b) broken.

I have filed a bug report with XFree86.

Closing, as suggested by the submitter, since he does not use the
hardware anymore.
If anybody ever reproduces this problem, feel free to reopen.
