Hello Manuel,

I am using XF86_S3. I was using XFree86 3.3.3.1 with NetBSD 1.3.3 and
did not have this problem. When I upgraded to 1.4, I decided to use
the version of XFree86 (should be 3.3.3.1 also, right?) that came with
NetBSD. 

I think I will try installing the non-NetBSD version of XFree86 to see if
somehow the operating system is affecting this. I think if I still have
the problem it would indicate something with the operating system is
causing the problem I am seeing. If I do not see the problem, then I think
there must be something about the way the XF86_S3 server was compiled that
is causing this. In any case, compiling XFree86 is a very time-consuming
process on my 166MHz Pentium, so I will try to report my results tomorrow.
