Thank you very much for all your help too, Pable. That "noaccel" did the trick. The
screen looks find now. Now all I need to find the resolution that right for me. How
may I set the XF86Config so that everytime I boot Linux I don't have to toggle around
to find the resolution I want. Also, I somehow turn on the window login option, I
don't know where did I do that? Anyone just in case I want to turn it off. Thanks.
