>Environment:
Not at home, but I can tell you this is a p200/72mb.  Built-in S3Trio64+ is disabled.  S386C375 card(4MB) is installed.  Running with S3V driver.  PS/2 mouse.  Res 1024X768.  Refresh(4th option on the graphical setup).
>Description:
After I save the configuration in Xvidtune and am sent back to the FreeBSD install menus, the screen is illegible.  It looks like it becomes split into 3 segment which scroll over to each other(never can tell which portion will be where.  Reboot will reset the screens back to readable look.  X will work fine, but when I exit out, it will still gunk up the screen.
>How-To-Repeat:
I know this is probably a X problem, but I couldnot find any info.  Has anyone else seen this?

get a all-in-one machine with S3 chip, disable it, install a 4mb PCI S3 card and you can probably recreate this.
>Fix:
More of a workaround:  Do all text work under a terminal in X(even /stand/sysinstall)

 Oops!  You are correct.  I meant to say 3.2-RELEASE with the Xfree86 that shipped with it.  Is that 3.3.3.1?

Responsible-Changed-Why:  

As submitter notes, this is probably an X problem, and newer releases of 
XFree86 now exist that may fix the problem. 

However, I'll let you have a look at this first and close it yourself.

 You are correct.  I did some more research on the Xfree86 Website.  Based on
 what I know is the initial server VGA16 during the setup phase, I tested this
 out on a newer version running from Mandrake linux 7.0.  Same problem.  Please
 close this and I will take it up with the Xfree86 team.
 
 Sorry it took so long.

State-Changed-Why:  
This was assigned to me, but is about a card-specific probelm in a very old  
version of X.  It should be fixed in recent XFree (3.3.6 or hopefully 4.2.0)
