Also, when running Xfree 4, I get a wrapped-around screen in the sense
that the leftmost ~200 pixels appear on the _right_ side of the monitor.
Might that be the offset of pixel #1 in the framebuffer? Although,
that's around 100 bytes IIRC, so wouldn't explain the 200 pixels at 32
bit/pixel.... FWIW, I'm running Jack Howarth's XF4-12a RPMs.

XF4's fbdev is not working right for me either.  The weird displacement
occurs on both of display cards (control, matrox) I have.  I think the
current XF4 is of no use for fbdev only people.

Probably XF4 handles fix.smem_start being not on a page boundary incorrectly.
