That's two votes for the NEC. I tried removing the VIA controller this evening to see if that fixed my video issues: it didn't :-(. I don't know if something is permanently damaged, or I'm just dealing with a flakey Radeon driver, or maybe recent KDE4 package updates have increased the de facto depth requirement from 16 to 24 bits (see below). I don't have another video card to try, so maybe I should correct that "deficiency" before spending too much time trying to chase the issue. So... With *no* USB card in the system (only cards now are the standard Qlogic SCSI card and the Radeon 7500), I get vertical stripes through the kdm login/password box, and also through both the "Desktop" folder panel and the "New Activity" button (upper right corner of my KDE4 session). The session is running at 1280x1024x16 (my video card can't -- or won't -- support 24-bit depth at that resolution). Actually, that *could* be the issue: KDE plasma desktop on other systems I've used looks like absolute crap at other than 24-bit depth. Never considered that might be the problem, because my video issues only started recently. I'll see about getting another video card to try. Any recommendations as far as something that will support 1280x1024x24 on a PWS? In the meantime, I can try backing off the resolution to 1024x768x24 to see if that makes the stripes go away. --Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
