Has anyone else had trouble with the SGI (24bit) board?  We've got
one on a 6000/320, and are seeing *lots* of problems with X (IBM's
R3 server and the MIT R4 clients) - red flashes in the windows when 
redrawing, title bars not redrawing when exposed, etc.  There are
also problems with it using Motif, though not as many.  The normal
color cards we have work fine running the same code.

The board in question seems to run diagnostics perfectly.  The X server 
is "golden" (i.e. I haven't patched it yet).  Do the X clients make 
differently for this hardware?

Thanks.
