I recently got a new laptop courtesy CompUSA because my good ol' Compaq Presario died. I just got my hands on this thing when I went home for Thanksgiving, and I finally had a chance to re-partition the things and install Debian on it. However, I am having considerable problems with XFree86 3.3.6 that comes with the latest potato (stable).
The videocard appears to work fine, and the XFree driver runs it at 1024x768 at 16bpp like it runs in windows. However, under any load the screen has little oddities and artifacts all over it (brief flashes that look like one row of pixels had a burp). It's fine when the system is at rest, but when new windows are opening, etc it causes problems. Anyone know how to fix this? (I've tried both 4mb and 8mb for the video RAM size [selectable via the windows driver] and it dosen't fix it. 8bit works great). -R -- Robert Gash - CS Major \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Georgia Tech - Atlanta GA \ www.gashalot.com - www.techwreck.net "Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle
