Even when I try "tar xvf", I still have problems.

Sorry. The archive was corrupted. I placed an updated one, which is not corrupted.

<http://www.chez.com/fstark/VMWareSVGA.tar.gz>

Rewritten from scratch, very verbose comments in source code. Works on my machine, but I'd be happy to know if it works else where. I'd like to know if it fails on someone too. I'd like to know if it works under a linux host (developped and tested on a windows one).

Resolutions:
  800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200

Bit depth:
  8 bits grayscale, 8 bits color, 16 bits and 24 bits.

Will override the user depth with what the host is running (to work around limitations in VMWare).

If you choose a 0x0 resolution, the driver will use the host resolution.

Note that the artifacts are still present, but I am not really sure if it would occur on every machine (I am the happy owner of a crappy Dell Lattitude C400, which have a lot of video-related problems)

Cheers,
