One machine with a Cirrus Logic GD5446 based display adapter with 1 meg of video ram shows the first GUI screen in broken up form. In a text install when X is configured the X test screen is also broken up. Using Xconfigurator after install, the test screen is also broken. The installation chooses the SVGA server, which I believe is correct. This card worked fine in RHL 6.2
This also happens with the integrated GD 5480 of Intel L440GX+ motherboards. It is fixed by Option "no_bitblt" in the XF86Config, so maybe it should be enabled by default for cirrus boards (the later ones anyway?)
Using the accerated driver in XFree86-4.0 works even better, that's what I've done in CVS.

Still there in Fairfax. And 3.3.6 is what gets selected (and 4.0.3 has the same problem)
And to avoid confusion, this was about 5480, in the kudzu database it says # reported not working on SGI 1200 as of 02/22/2001 NAME Cirrus Logic GD5480 CHIPSET CL-GD5480 SERVER SVGA DRIVER cirrus UNSUPPORTED NOCLOCKPROBE 00:14.0 Class 0300: 1013:00bc (rev 23) Subsystem: 8086:4948 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64 Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] Memory at fa006000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=32K] I'd suggest a no_bitblt for 3.3.6 on this board (and for 4.0.x it's something else, maybe just noaccel and be done with it)
Reassigning to XFree86 and changing assignee..

Somehow this bug got assigned to msw.. Reassigning to myself. There is a new Cirrus logic fix I've just made in the newest XFree86 4.1.0-0.9.8 package not yet available in rawhide.
4.1.0-0.9.11 from rawhide works perfectly for me, even without the no_bitblt/no_accel workaround. I changed the bug to Xconfigurator, which needs the following to make it use 4.1.0 instead of 3.3.6: --- Cards~ Mon Aug 6 10:57:18 2001 +++ Cards Tue Aug 7 10:18:23 2001 @@ -228,7 +228,6 @@ CHIPSET CL-GD5480 SERVER SVGA DRIVER cirrus -UNSUPPORTED NOCLOCKPROBE #tested Also make sure anaconda uses 4.1.0 on these boards. 5446 probably needs something similar, but I don't have the hardware to test if the fix works on those too.
The changes to Xconfigurator were made at the same time the bug was fixed.
