Description Tim Waugh 2000-01-21 19:50:33 UTC 
Just like in 6.1, the Cyber9397 graphics hardware in the IBM ThinkPad 770
gives a screen that flickers, especially when viewing
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla in netscape!

The SVGA server is being used.
Comment 1 Preston Brown 2000-02-03 20:58:59 UTC 
here is the note from the XFree86 3.3.6 release notes regarding that driver:


(*) Note, chips marked in this way have either limited support or the drivers
for them are not actively maintained.

I.e. it may or may not get fixed.
