Hello,
I've noticed an issue with the G400 dualhead card that isn't directly
related to the replied-to message, but I thought I'd send a message out
to see what the general consensus as to what the problem/cause/solution
might be.

I have an AGP G400 that I'm running in a quadhead system (and just let me
thank the XFree86 guys right now. I _love_ this setup) as the rightmost
two screens.  I've noticed that if I have an xterm open on the left-most
G400 display using XRender'ed fonts, and I use `ls` in a large directory
that causes the xterm window to flood, sometimes (too infrequently to
bother me) the right-most G400 display also randomly throw up some of the
XRender'ed text (a single line every once in a while).  I assume this
just has to do with how the G400 driver shares its video buffers among
its two displays and with how the XRender system works (bear in mind I
have zero hardware coding experience, so I can only guess at what's
causing this problem).
I've also noticed that this isn't exclusive to XRender rendering.
Sometimes resizing windows on the first head in Enlightenment (using
technical mode, which throws up lots of single pixel lines) causes
garbage to appear on the second head.

Like I said, I don't know exactly why this happens, but if any developers
are interested in tracking these issues down, I'll be happy to help in
any way I can.

Thanks again for XFree86, and keep up the great work,
