Hi everyone,
I'm not positive how to explain the problem, will do my best.
I have a KISS technologies coolview3 monitor, tft widescreen 17".
Graphics card is a Creative GeForce2 GTS
Under mandrake 10.1 I got a decent picture, under 2005 LE I have
problems. I think xorg is the significant change - so could be
related to that.
The colour of the display is darker, and there are stripes across the
screen horizontally that match darker parts of windows.
eg the title bar of a window in middle of the screen 'bleeds' left
and right as does any instance of a darker colour on my screen.
Is this some issue with my graphics card, or my monitor, and suport
for them in xorg?
Do the symptoms sound familiar to anyone?
many thanks for any help offered
Did you do a clean install of 10.2 (2005LE), or an upgrade from 10.1?
the reason I ask is that I have an older box at work that had 10.1 on
it. I decided (for reasons that not even I can decipher) to just do a
clean install of 10.2. After that I couldn't start X, or I'd get weird
monitor problems. I ended up wiping the HD clean and installing 10.1
again, then upgrading to 10.2, and have had no monitor problems at all.
If this is somehow related to your issue, I hope it helps. If not, I
hope someone else has more insight.
Peace
Cameron
I did a clean install - formatting / and /boot
My 10.1 was fine originally... however I believe I installed some
updates that included xorg - and since then I had the display problems.
I should add that I use my monitor for 2 machines, and the monitor works
fine with windowsXP - so it isn't the monitor that's playing up.
