If you are running a 4mb ET6000 card the following may help:

  I have been struggling with the various releases of Tseng ET6000 drivers for
quite awhile. Many folks have had problems with 'crash on first mouse move' and
corrupted icons and fonts in seamless winos2. After a lot of testing, and
looking through the binaries of the seamless driver, I originally found the
setting in system.ini [Tseng] section of hardwarebitblt=0 to get rid of some of
the black icons and changing the fonts in the boot section to 8514fon.fon got
rid of the font corruption. But eventually I gave up and installled another
card.
 
  Well the other day I picked up a 2 meg Jaton ET6000 card to test instead of my
4mb Dynamite 128/video. I installed the Jaton 2mb and the 12/19/96 Tseng drivers
and they worked fine! No seamless winos2 problems. Hmmmm, installed the Hercules
board without regenerating svgadata.pmi and it worked fine as well. Regenerated
svgadata.pmi for 4 mb's and curruption all over again!  Put the 2mb svgadata.pmi
back and even the Hercules was fine in seamless (with the default of
hardwarebitblt=1). Well after talking again to Hercules this afternoon it seems
that Tseng just found the same thing. Seems that they must have tested mostly
with 2mb boards!!
 
  Seems that even though the svgadata.pmi handles the 4mb info the seamless
winos2 driver does not. 

  In a previous post I enclosed a svgadata.pmi file that was generated for an
Optiquest v775, for the benefit of those who don't have access to a 2mb et6000
board. I hope this helps. BTW, with Sysbench 0.91c I turn 78 graphics marks with
a K5PR-166.
