[PLUG] video speckles

[James Rose]

Does anyone know what might cause little white speckles (precisely, short
3-4 pixel horizontal lines with 1-pixel height)  to appear randomly on the
display in X?  They appear for a brief instant then disappear..  It
doesn't happen in Windows, although I don't use windows much.  OTOH, in X,
it's very regular, they appear every second or so. Dragging a window
opaquely or scrolling in Netscape will cause lots of them to appear.  It
happens to me with a Viper V330 (Riva128) and an S3 ViRGE, on two totally
different systems, two different monitors.. the only constant is that I'm
using the XF86_SVGA server.  I even tried making a custom modeline
according to ESR's howto and tweaking with xvidtune.

On a completely different subject..  I think it would be nice if we could
get the newsgroup and the mailing list to be linked together, because it's
kind-of annoying getting 15 messages a day in my main inbox, but there's
some stuff that I won't want to miss..
