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
