alex, the change option 2 seems to be working for the random noise cursor. the problem with the shimmer was related to refresh rate. when i turned down the refresh rate the shimmer went away. must be this video card, my old nvidia card had no problem with the old refresh rate.
one other thing. i downloaded the latest code yesterday and built it. i am now noticing that the agp mode is only 1X. it used to be 4X. could you or somebody else point me in the right direction? thanks, mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Deucher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mark Cass" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [Dri-devel] savage : strange cursor problems > > --- Mark Cass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > dri-devel, > > > > i am using the dri tree build (Mesa/xc - no branch) of all drivers > > (2d and 3d) on xfree86 version 4.3.0. my video card is a 32MB savage > > 4 pro.
