Howdy! I've a question about running XFree86 v4 on a Starmax using an 8MB MMII that was originally intended for use in a PC. I re-flashed the card with a PPC BIOS. MacOS 9 is quite happy to use the card now. Openfirmware gladly uses it, too. Debian 3 uses the card just fine in text mode. However, when running X, the displayed image (root image) is shifted down about 16 scan lines, leaving a green-and-black multi-checkerboard at the top. The hardware mouse cursor is positioned correctly, but since the image displayed is shifted down 16 pixels or so, the registration is wrong. I also lose the bottom 16 or so lines of the display. I've tried everything I know to try to work around this. Is this a programming bug? Is it referencing the card's memory wrong? Any ideas on 'correcting' the problem? Clearly, I could go buy a Mac-specific video card, but since MacOS happily uses this card, I should think XFree86 would, too.
