The attached snapshot was actually of a window that showed artifacts,
but he snapshot turned out to show just garbage. I guess that quite
sums up my problem.
I haven't used the nvidia drivers in quite a while and have fared pretty
well with that choice, but his new messing up of the buffers is not
pleasant or tolerable.

Recently after having mplayer suspended for quite a while the machine took a nose dive after I put the player into the foreground again.
I do not have an Xorg.conf file. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead Public Cloud Architect [email protected] [email protected] 781-464-8147
