There was a bug in the G200/G400 driver that caused this a long time back - I
thought it had been fixed - but I could easily be wrong.
IIRC, it showed up in the FNT example program as one half of the texture map
(displayed in the bottom-left corner of the display) being 'trashed'.

FNT uses monochrome (INTENSITY_ALPHA) maps with colour blend mode on the
texture map. Not many programs do that - so we could easily be hitting a
poorly tested path.
I suggest you ask on the Mesa mailing list. I subscribe to that list
so I can chime in with answers to PLIB-ish questions if they come up.
