This is a known issue with the current TTF enabled XServer, when
time allows (high work load right now) I will grab the latest and greatest
VMWare patches and apply them. I also have the "blotchy" VMWare
problem, but wasn't going to try and fix DGA code, I may have lost
a whole lot of sanity trying it.

I will also be putting my XF86Config and the modified SuperProbe
into future tarballs to keep everything together. They will of course
remain as seperate files on the web site though.

Bill.

Thanks for the gratitude, it is really appreciated.
