Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-19 22:29:26 UTC 
Please upgrade to the latest version of XFree86 from:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris

Version 4.0.3-2 is current.  You will also need to update Mesa and possibly
update to the latest rawhide kernel.  If the problem persists, please
provide your XFree86 server logs and XF86Config-4 cofnig files using the
attachment link below.  Also give me a copy of the output of
both "lspci -v" and also "lspci -vn".

Also, if you are reporting against XFree86 4.x, please change it from
XFree86-Servers to just XFree86 as this bug is currently filed against the
XFree86-Servers-3.3.6 package, and I'm assuming you're using 4.x.

Thanks,
TTYL

Oops, I meant 4.0.3-1  ;o)

I'm working on 4.0.3-2 right now though..

I have a similar problem, I can start the Xserver but if I use 16 or 24 bit
resolution the screen glitches every 2 seconds, please take a look at bug 32338.

I'm using 4.0.3-1 and kernel 2.4.2-0.1.25
Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-27 20:05:34 UTC 
To the original poster - please supply the information that I requested so
that I can look into these problems for you.
Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2001-05-24 20:07:12 UTC 
It appears the i810 X server did not support i815.  This has been fixed in
XFree86-Servers-3.3.6-38, and an errata release will be issued shortly.

You can obtain new packages in the mean time from:
