What happened?

YouTube capture with real hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSv4gbxZJr8
It was written on and predominantly for the ET4000AX video card. The NFO strongly suggests that any VGA-compliant hardware will do, while the YouTube description disagrees with the assessment. Some effects work on 86box's IBM VGA card, some don't; I don't have real hardware to see what happens.
What doesn't work: the bars effect in the first two segments, colored bars segment, the wobble, credits after the wobble, bouncing image, line fading, flood effect... (Honestly, basically everything with graphics manipulation)
Machine config: hardware as in the config file below. MS-DOS 5.0 installed with Microsoft CD-ROM driver.

I got 86Box from a third party repository (please tell us where)
Additional context
86box installed from the AUR.
Well, as the uploader of that YT video stated in the video description, it requires the TC6058AF revision of the card (as it was this specific RAMDAC the demo was based on). I'd say that it's not so much a bug, but they may just need to create an option to select the variant of the chip.
The TC6058AF variant is available in 86Box since build 5369 and release v4.1.
Just tried TC6058AF. Same issues as the base card.
Try now when the latest build compiled.
