I had the Cirrus Logic 5434 in a pc and had similar problems, lines running
through the screen, especially when moving the mouse. To fix the problem, I
found that I had to put Option "med_dram" in the device section of my
XF86Config file. You may read more about this option and others in the
README.cirrus file usually found in /usr/X11R6/lib/doc.

Subject: [newbie] X Server
Hi everyone, I am having some problems setting up an x server and was hoping
that someone could help me out.
I installed mandrake 7.0 (first time)and when it came time install the x
server, it found my video card and suggested this driver cirrus logic GD
5434-8, which is appropriate and my monitor is custom, but the manual tells
me it supports, 800*600 H35.2khz V56hz, 800*600 H37.9khz V60hz, 800*600
H48.1khz V72hz, 1024*768 H48.4khz V60hz, 640*480 H37.9khz V72hz; just to
name a few.
Now when I test any configuration including the most basic, I get lines
going down the screen I can vaguely make out what's on the screen long
enough to cancel back and try another configuration.
I was wondering if anyone has any pointers for me, or knows where i can find
help.
Oh another quick question, I can't seem to log on as root at startup? (in
the command line) I can get to root using su from another user but not
immediately at startup, anyone know why.
Thanks again for your help,
Derk Hanero.
