Fahrenheit VLB problems in Windows

I've got a 66MHz 486 with VESA LB, Orchid Fahrenheit VLB 1MB display
card, UltraStor 34F LB SCSI adapter in a CONTAQ motherboard with UMC
chipset.

My problem is that in windows in the accelerated modes if I make
a window over about half the screen height, when I move it I get
vertical lines left from the window outline as it is being dragged.
Occasionally I also get a small rectangle picked up by the mouse
cursor which then moves with the mouse cursor for a while and then
disappears.

My first thought was that it was a driver problem but after a few calls
to Orchid, they claim the problem is with the mother board chipset and
that UMC is working on it.

While not overly suspicious, I'd like to hear from other people with
this video card. Can you run in all modes, particularly 1024x768x256
and not have the above problem?

Incidently, the people at Orchid have been quite helpful and the card
is very fast.
