Of course, this could be a hardware problem, or a problem with who knows what, but it's a problem I need to fix before appointing this machine my new Daily Driver Desktop (DDD). Also, when I scroll, distortion occurs on the screen, so I can't read while mousewheel scrolling. I didn't even know I did this until it the ability was taken away from me. > > I have a 7300 series card (so still 7 family, but older than yours) > and no way I can get it to work, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD all refuse > to show something. Remind me not to get one of them. Just in case, 24 hours ago I ordered a Radeon 5450 with 2GB RAM from Dell. If you guys haven't shopped at Dell, try it. They have *very* helpful chat people all hours of the day. I got my help at about 4am. My chat guy made sure I got what I wanted, when I wanted. Don't try that at Egghead, Walmart, Amazon, BH Photos and the like. Dell's price was on par with many, and lower than some. Thanks!
