I see the same thing with my Voodoo 3, but with the xv driver, with
-fs -zoom. Some resolutions work fine (off the top of my head,
1024x768, 832x624, 800x600, 640x480), but many others (512x384,
400x300) give the half-blue/half-squashed. No problem with x11, but
with that I use -vm instead of -zoom.
