Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-5
Severity: important
Tags: woody
Problems occur running XFree86 4.1.0 on an HP Vectra PC which has an MGA
chipset as an integrated graphics card.
In XFree86 any attempt to run at above 1280x1024 resolution caused the
video output to appear twice on the screen (as would be caused, perhaps,
if the timing from Hsync to the start of the image data was alternately
long and short) and there are also some black, horizontal lines on the
screen.
Running at 1280x1024 resolution stopped this problem, but even at
1280x1024 the black horizontal line sometimes appear when scrolling
windows.
The situation with XFree 4.0 was much the same as with version 3, but
starting with Xfree 4.1 the resolution at which the problem appears
has dropped so that even 1280x1024 now shows the problem and 1152x864
is OK.
I suspect the screen resoultion is less the issue rather the clock rate
required to support it. I attach a log file of the server starting
at the 1280x1024 resolution.
The problem occurs on the HP Vectra which appears to have the MGA200
chip and not on the MGA400 I have at home (in a non-HP machine)
