Hm. I am not sure, but I have an integrated Intel card and tried Intel driver with --enable-sna switch. When started, everything in gnome is rendered badly, you could hardly see something. It's like one line is drawn, other is not. Fixed by not passing --enable-sna to the intel driver cmdline. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
