        Try putting the line NoSpeedUp in Xconfig. That might fix the problems
with the screen leaving bits of windows/not refreshing right, etc. I had
problems with at ET4000 card until I disabled the speed up code. I think the
speed up code might be buggy or doesn't work with certain buggy chipsets
(not just Diamond I'm afraid, any Xfree people know about this?)....

        Adding NoSpeedUp to Xconfig might not help, but it might, so give it a
try.
