Now that is useful information.
I don't know what exactly you want from this thread, so...?
FWIW, you might have some options to *try* fix the video corruption on the Net/OpenBSD machines. Long story short: Modern X.org doesn't run with a set configuration file, it autoconfigs everything. It doesn't always guess everything right, especially on old obscure video cards or unusual OSes. All I can suggest is you can try RTFM-ing about how to generate an xorg.conf configuration file and seeing if you can tweak some of the options:
Poking around various mailing lists it seems like over the years a lot of people (including on Linux) have had mixed luck with Matrox cards. The first thing I would suggest is:
Code:
Option "Accel" "Off"
And see if the corruption goes away. Obviously that's not optimal, but it would be "interesting". Sometimes turning off hardware mouse cursors magically fixes random problems as well.
