I've finally received and installed LM8.0, hurray! (Thanks, s!) On one of my boxes the video display is garbled: duplicate images appear horizontally, corresponding with vertical bands of video noise. In addition, the display image is not scaled properly and some 3/4 of the desktop spills off the right and lower edges of the physical screen.
Here's what I've tried: * Consulted the LM "User Guide", "Reference Manual", man and how-to pages, and the archives of this list. * Checked to see the video adaptor identified by Mandrake Control Center is indeed what I have (Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434 PCI). They match. Because of the scaling problem mentioned above, I am unable to see enough of the Control Center window to further check information or try changing settings, nor am I able to make the Control Center window smaller. * Disabling "Plug and Play aware OS" in the BIOS and reinstalling. Same result. * Tried booting in failsafe mode. Same result. * Reinstalled, but instead of accepting the default monitor offered, I selected a generic monitor that matched my monitor's specifications. Same result. * Booted into Windows to insure that the display is fine. It is, which tells me that I don't have a hardware or cable failure. In all cases I've been using the "recommended" installation mode, never the "expert" mode. I have always deleted my Linux partitions and reinstalled; never updated the installation. Hardware: PC clone, AMD K5/100 MHz, 128 MB RAM Video adaptor: Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434 PCI Monitor: Techmedia TCM-2148C, which I am installing as "Generic non-interlaced SVGA, 1024x768 @ 60 Hz, 800x600 @72 Hz", which matches my monitor's documentation What else can I try to solve this display issue? My whole family is dying to get LM running on this box. Even my technophobe wife can't wait to try it out. Thanks in advance, Warren -- http://sites.netscape.net/srcopan/
