[clug-talk] new computer ... only one whoa!

[Mitchell Brown]

So I just bought a second-hand computer from this kind fellow I found on Craigslist. Quite a snatch actually. AMD Athlon 900mhz (yes its old, but, for a server, it'll do), 300(ish)MB of ram, brand new high-end nvidia graphics card (worth probably $200) with tv out, cool new fan with led lights and such, dvdrom/cdrw (seperate), brand new 100gb maxtor hdd. Only $240 altogether. Ohhh, and I forgot. The Samsung SyncMaster 753df crt ^__^

Anyways, I've just installed PCLinuxOS .93a Big Daddy, and its working FLAWLESSLY. Except, for my second monitor. The entire display is colorful lines of snow. Its reacting to things though, like, if I'm on one screen and move to the desktop (major redraw) the colors whir around. I tried trading places, and the problem just happens on the other display. It almost seems as if that video out on the card is ... screwed up or something. Either that or its software. Whatta you guys think?
