[Savage40] ProSavage - problems getting a correct display

Two things:

1)
my error; dri (glxinfo|grep rend) works.
no Mode 0666 problem...

2)
to describe the whole thing more precisely:
running the plain X server, and running kdm the mouse works fine. I think 
thats because there the "original" X mouse cursor is used.
but running kde, where I use a custom Cursor (whiteglass - but makes no 
difference what i use) I have a square field under my mouse pointer, about 
appr. 100x100 px (jus estimated...) that is not displayed correctly.
I don't know much about X programming, I just think it looks as the saved 
bitmap under the mouse is not displayed at the right place again when he 
mouse moves. the picture shows parts of the mouse pointer itself, and 
background from where the mouse was before. so I can "draw" a funny pattern 
on my desktop. Very funny.
And, again, there is no font displayed, all font displays are squeezed into a 
half-inch bar at the top of the screen...

I don't really know if that's a savage/probo mailing list problem, or an X.org 
bug.

So, guys, if you want more info, say it, if you want a screenshot (link :-), 
tell me, and if you don't understand my english, please excuse it...
