I had a similar problem with my ET 4000 Tseng card (1 MB) with BC++ 3.0 :
The debugger came with a SVGA DLL for Tseng based  cards.
I have renamed the DLL according the readme file to tdvideo.dll.
When debugging with a single monitor in 640*480 (256 colors) the user
screen was trashed.  When switching to 1024*768 (256) and 800*600 (256)
everything worked fine.  The only way I could use the 640*480 (256) was to
switch on Int2Fassist in the tdvideo.ini file but this slows down speed
if you specify Fullscreen saving too. The problem dissappeared on a two
monitor system.
