[Newbie]4.1.0 doesn't like my ET6000-based card

Hi,

I've recently upgraded from Debian Potatoe to Woody, thus from XF86 3.3.6
to 4.1.0 . Using the old version (XF86_SVGA) there has never been one
single problem the past 1 1/2 years with my PCI-based "To The Max" card
with ET6000 chipset and 4 MB of ram. 

The manual says "All cards supported by 3.3.6 are also supported by
4.1.0 except for the old ET3000", but this seems not to be true for me.
When using the new 4.1.0 server with the "tseng" driver it starts up and
my window manager is loaded, but the screen is full of wrong colors,
artefacts, weird boxes, etc. And when starting an X application the
whole system hangs, which already caused some quite serious hd damage.

First I thought it has something to do with my old 2.2.20 kernel which
was still left from Potatoe. So I grabbed the sources of 2.4.18,
compiled & installed it. But this changed only the wrong colors from
mainly pink to black. So I switched back to 3.3.6 now.

So does anybody know what's wrong?


Thanks in advance,
Christian
