The official release of XFree86 contained a serious bug that caused
much of the text to be unreadable on video cards that used the ATI
Rage128 chipset, including all the latest ATI video cards. This
problem effected OS/2 as well as other operating systems.

A source code patch was released and I applied the patch and
recompiled the OS/2 version of the SVGA XServer, the XServer that
works with the Rage 128.

To get the patched binary go to:
