If you were using the neomagic driver and the rendering was wrong while the vga driver rendered correctly, that implies a HW acceleration problem with the neomagic driver. You might try using the neomagic driver with: Option "noaccel" in the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file. If that works but is slow, you can add Option "ShadowFB", which should be faster. Another option would be to omit the "noaccel" and "ShadowFB" options and instead try to turn off the acceleration feature that is broken. It's not clear which feature that is so it would take some experimentation, but for starters, I'd try: Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" Mark.
