Not sure if any of you had encountered this problem, but with quite a
few cheaper Virge DX 4M based PCI video cards i encountered font
corruption problems especially when using Netscape, but also
occasionally in KDE and StarOffice. The card is one of the cheapest,
and quite suitable for everything other than gaming.

I finally found a fix on a newsgroup. Adding the line

Option "xaa_no_color_exp"

to the 'Section "Device"' section of /etc/X11/XF86Config for the
Virge/dx card seemed to have fixed the problem. Apparently its some
acceleration features on the card that cause the problem.
