I have had similar problems on our ONYX (OS 5.2, 2 CPU's, 2 RM's), except
it appears as a transparency problem (maybe AA too, it's hard to tell in NTSC).
I ran at 4++at++640x486_30i. I have seen the same problem when I run at
1600x1200 (small pixel depth), so for some reason the machine thinks it's in
small pixel depth mode when no one is logged in to the console.
We are running the visuallogin. The problem is not there if I log on to
the console.
