It also crashes frequently when run on a matrox card, complaining of the 
wrong number of scanlines.  It is happy with an ATI card that does not 
even work at all with svgalib, and requires hitting F5 while booting with 
loadlin to work with Xvesa.


Can anyone suggest a linux program that crops (in X) while showing the 
removed part darker or lighter or not at all?  My partner has little 
imagination and can't see the cropped picture properly if it is just 
demarcated by a line.  He has been holding up pieces of paper against the 
screen.
