>Description:
	If I attempt start X (via startx) with a *valid* /etc/XF86Config
        file that I also used under RedHat Linux 6.1 then screen corruption
        problems occur: white vertical very thin lines and when I move
        windows around then they get large areas of white. After having
        stopped X the console text window also is corrupted (it has
        strange reflections of characters to the left of the actual
        characters).

        Under RedHat Linux 6.1 I had exactly the same problem with the
        XFree 3.3.5 distribution. A pre-release version of the 3DFX_SVGA
        driver that I had lying around fixed the problem. I have heard
        stories on the internet that there's a bug in XFree86 3.3.5 with
        Voodoo3 and Banshee video cards (text listed below):

          I'm coming late to this thread, but there is a known bug
          in XFree86 3.3.5 for the Voodoo Banshee/Voodoo3 cards that
          causes some operations to be drawn with an incorrect ROP (ie
          XOR source & destination instead of replacing the destination)
          some of the time. This was supposed to have been fixed before
          3.3.5 was released, but the patch got lost.  The next version
          of XFree86 will fix this.
