Ok - I'm still having this issue. I've gathered more information so
maybe someone can help out. The information quoted (below) is still
accurate and relevant to my issue.

This is what's happening (which is quoted below, too)

The Compaq iPaq workstations are using Intel 82815 graphics controllers.
>From Win2k, here are some specifics (which may or may not aid in
troubleshooting):

BUS:            0,2,0
MemRange:       44000000-47FFFFFF
MemRange:       40300000-4037FFFF
I/O Range:      03B0-03BB
I/O Range:      03B0-03BB
MemRange:       000A0000-000BFFFF


The Win2k driver specifics are as follows (for reference):
Driver Provider: Intel Corp.
Driver Date:     7/14/2000
Driver Version:  5.12.1.2636

(note that the Win2k info is for hardware reference, as the chipset
works fine in Win2k).

Monitors are all HP L1506 LCDs.


My lts.conf has the following options:

X_COLOR_DEPTH = 24

and I've tried the following (without any luck):

X_RAMPERC = 99
X_RAMPERC = 01
X_RAMPERC = 80


Any ideas, insight or help would be greatly appreciated. The labs can
function without X_RAMPERC in place, but the students use OpenOffice and
other apps (which apparently have this pixmap bug) and it's quite
frustrating for them and the teachers.

Thanks all!
