This is what happens after you reset the STIC and before you send the
first packet after the reset.

They'd appear to be PMAG-D's, but I don't know about the frequency. I know
why the cursor would do that - the PMAG-CA does the same until it gets
some interrupts. The reason it's hanging appears to be due to bad STIC DMA
interactions with the 3D coprocessor. I thought it might be possible to
get away without disabling the copro, but it appears not... Ugh, I'll look
into this. Thanks,

Andy.
