S3 ViRGE (both 325 and DX) glitches

Post by SA1988 »

These are slight minor glitches but can also be annoying for proper visualization, and I'm asking if they can be fixed :)

Emulated specs:
Machine emulated: 430VX PCI
Video card: S3 ViRGE/DX (375) PCI (everything from its config enabled) (1024x768x24bpp but happens in any video mode from 8bpp to 24bpp)
CPU Type: Intel Pentium
Clock speed: around 150Mhz-166Mhz
Video speed: Fast PCI
Sound: SB16
Memory: 256MB (I also set 128MB once).
OS: Windows 98 Original from 1998 (but also happens in Windows 95, NT and other later versions of Windows)

Screenshot sample (see the blue border of "My Computer" as well as the IE-like My Computer branding):

both drivers, and actually, the glitch doesn't always appear, it mainly appears when moving the open program or window to the borders of the screen. (And for some info, this glitch is totally absent in the trio64).
