I've had it again. It looked quite a bit different this time, no
"meltdown" effect, but headache-inducing, flickering, changing,
repetitive, colourful, rectangular patterns, looks like DAC-register
messup, too. Unlike last time, though, this time the display didn't
recover after restarting the Xserver, and I had to login remotely
and shutdown the machine. Is the difference between microSPARC (GX)
and TURBOsparc (TX) likely to influence the behaviour?

For the time being I'm using software cursor. If it happens again
we know it's something else at least.

Yes, it's very different now, and happens only occasionally, whereas
it used to be very frequently.
