Graphic cards with S3-Trio32 chipset

Symptom:

The signsets in the window title and on the entire X desktop are illegibly squashed. The phenomenon only appears when the menus are operated or the mouse is moved.

Cause:

Some revisions of the S3-Trio32 chipset have an error in font caching.

Solution:

Please add the following line to the device section of the file /etc/Xf86Config:

Option "trio32_fc_bug"
Newer X servers (> XFree-3.1.2D) should detect the bug by themselves, and take the corresponding measurements.

A representative of the graphic cards with S3-Trio32 chipset is the Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM SE. Another one is the SPEA Mirage P32.
