I also have an S3 Trio64V+, and mainly things have worked fine, but I 
recently noticed a little problem with xdvi's magnifier - moving it
would lock up the system hard. (Not immediately, but easily reproduced.)
(This is with 2.1.6 and Xfree 3.2; mouse is a serial mouse on com2.)

Anyone else had this? Suggestions?
