Sorry, we are NOT the authors of these drivers - and we can't help or
support them. Ask teh driver author(s)...

Anyway, similar things happen to matrox g200 at very high resolution+refresh
rates... the overlay chip ha slimited pixelrate it seems, and above the
limit it introduces such artifacts

i've heard similar about old nvidia tnt cards too
