These are for sure specific to their system. I traced an error that Lars
Schmidbauer had on his CTPCI, and finally (he) found that it could be
solved by other fvdi-settings (no accelerated polyline).

Also there seems to one other CTPCI-user with no problems, I wonder why
these guys ask for MiNT/XaAES-fixes instead of asking the other users
who have it running.

There is also a chapter for "odd harware" in the wiki, but no one enters
his knowlegde there. It's always an XaAES-bug - silly!

I would really not wonder about any malfunction when even the opnwk does
not work correctly.
