Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" "Off" fixes the problems.
Note that this option was specified at
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html for a Citrix problem as well.
So, I can use xorg, dri works and my powerpoint problems disappeared. Big
thanks !

I've never seen or heard of this problem myself, however, I did much of
the work on the DRI version of the savage DDX. It's basically Tim's
1.1.27 driver with some bits from S3 and Xfree86's DDXes plus a bunch
of stuff I added. Also the DRI version uses a tiled framebuffer
(needed for 3d) while the xorg and xfree86 versions use a linear fb.
It may be an XAA problem or perhaps an issues with the way the bitmap
descriptors are setup (just guesses). If it is XAA, see if you can
narrow down the problem to a specific XAA function. To do this try the
XXNo... options in your device config. see the xorg.conf og XF86Config
man pages for more.
