My card has 32MB; I tried with and without VideoRam 32768 - both yielded the same result (without using any Option Xaa*). If that's not it, it's probably a radeon driver 2D acceleration bug which should be fixed in current DRI and XFree86 CVS. You could try my DRI CVS snapshot packages at I tried them but they don't help the problem unless I use the Xaa options you gave above. They are also not very stable for me. but then you'd have to figure out how to integrate the nvidia driver with those. Just using Nvidia's makefile seems to work, but then the Radeon doesn't want to do GL. Which is to be expected, of course. If my machine happens to be an interesting debugging case, I can give more information if you'd like.

Hi I just updated to the latest Xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-1 and suddely my x window systm won't work anymore. It was working with the previous version of the xfree86 server.
