I have a similar configuration (except with 4Mb of memory, Connor 100Mb IDE)
and have seen the same problem until I switched video drivers back to 16 colour
mode.

You didn't say what type of Tseng shipset you have.  I have a Tseng MegaEVA
1024 (with 1 Mb display memory and Tseng 4000 chipset).  This has a larger
than normal video ROM so I also have the following line in my SYSTEM.INI file
(in the [386enh] section) -

	emmexclude=c400-c7ff

The preliminary version of the Tseng 4000 drivers (dated 18th, 21st and 29th
May, 1990 from the TSENG4K.ZIP file on cica) were causing me problems in 256
colour mode using Paintbrush (incorrect loading of BMP files, new clean drawing
surface corrupted with random pixels).

The Orchid ProDesigner II Windows 3 Drivers (dated 1st Sep 1990) from the
ORCHID-PD2.ZIP file on cica - also exhibit the same problems in 256 colour
mode. (This board uses the Tseng 4000 chipset).
