Description Torfinn Ingolfsen 2005-05-15 02:57:08 UTC

I'm running FreebSD/amd64 on a MSI RS480M2-IL mainboard, which has ATI Radeon
Xpress 200 onboard graphics. Bug 3242 explains why I can't use the radeon
driver. Using the vesa driver in 1280x1024 gives me garbled text (all text on
the X display looks like it has thin white (irregular, horizontal) lines drawn
through it. The "white lines" doesn't have the same vertical position on each
line of text). This means that it is almost impossible to read text. Using vesa
with 1024x768 works ok. See also bug 3295 for another problem related to the
vesa driver on this hardware.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
