Comment 4 Brent Fox 2001-02-28 05:40:51 UTC

We have not seen this issue internally, although I haven't done tests with this
particular video card.  Voodoo 3 are known to have problems with testing the X
configuration, but it doesn't seem like that's the issue here.  

Brock, in your testing, have you tested any Voodoo3 cards lately?  If so, have
you run into this issue?

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2001-03-01 02:28:12 UTC

Cannot reproduce on my Voodoo3 here.  Resolving as worksforme.

Comment 6 Glen Foster 2001-03-02 18:02:40 UTC

This defect determined (by Michael Fulbright) to be MUST-FIX for Florence Gold
release.

Comment 7 Daniel Powell 2001-03-02 18:14:16 UTC

I have new memory coming in for this machine so i'll see if that fixes the 
problem.
