I've noticed the same banding with the build 53 drivers, but only for the
Crystal font driver, not the mach32.  (I thought the build 53 had both
drivers...or is it just Crystal font?)

I spoke to someone at KEA about their terminal emulation products, since 
the old version of Zstem I've got doesn't have interfaces to recent ATI
boards...and they indicated that according to customer reports you have
to use THE most up-to-date ATI drivers to make KEA's emulators work right.

Just another data point...
