1) happens on the T23 also.  We haven't fixed it yet.

2) Gosh, I only see it replicated once.  It doesn't happen if I use
8 bit depth instead of 16.  You using 24?  The problem is that the
system resets the vga behind our backs, so to speak.  I haven't
tried to see if there's a way to fix this with the APM.  There
must be.

Perhaps, jmk will have better insights.
