  If the lines are correct, you should be able to run linetest:

I just ran linetest both with the buggy XFree 4.3.0 version of
s3_drv.o and with the fixed one provided by Thomas Winischhofer.
The result is like expected:
With the buggy version, the zero-width lines do not work correctly
and nice line patterns can be drawn.
You can look at a screenshot at http://people.freenet.de/pei/s3_bug.gif.
With the new version, it's ok (only 1 visible line).
Lines with a higher width are fine in both versions.
Many thanks to Thomas!

Take a look at the XF86Config man page.  You can find out exactly which
XAA routine is causing the bug by trying the different XAANo
oprions, where XXX is the acceleration routine.  they are listed in the
man page.
Cool, thanks a lot!
It works well with the option XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine set!
I think this is no big performance loss and it's fine for me,
but of course the bug is still there.

[XFree86] S3 driver bug

2003-11-18 Thread Klaus Peichl
Hello XFree team,

I sent a mail some days ago but was not yet registerd at XFree86.Org.
In the meantime, I found out that the bug disappears when the
noaccel option is specified in XF86Config.

Klaus Peichl
Original mail:

I have a problem with the S3 driver in XFree86 4.3.0 which
was not present in XFree86 3.3.3.
I have installed an S3 Trio 64 card and I am running SuSE-Linux 8.2.
The S3 driver does not seem to draw sloping lines correctly.
It seems that lines start at the correct position but get drawn
into the wrong direction.
Some programs (like MiXViews) are quite unusable. As an example,
I attachd a snapshot of the color edit dialog of xv. You can see
problems with the scales and outlines of arrows there.
It might be only a small bug which I could maybe even fix myself,
but I guess it's not feasible downloading all sources with a
56k modem, is it?
I hope that someone can help me. It would be a a pity if the
newer driver could not be used because of only a small bug.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Klaus Peichl
