Hi, Any XFree guru willing to sink their teeth int this mystery?
Summary of my problem: I have problems with graphic objects that are moved on my laptop screen. Widgets in windows that are dragged get red pixels around their borders. Dragging up a selection box on the KDE desktop (and gnome, and any other WM for that matter) results in some red pixels left on the desktop like "pixel-dust". Same thing happens when dragging a window accross the desktop. When scrolling on a web page, the images are sometimes filled upp with evenly spaced lines of this red pixel-dust. It seems that the color of the pixel dust depends on the resolution and ammount of colors. I have seen it green for 32-bit colors. What I want to know is: What the heck can I do to fix this? What is the issue here? I know it CAN be fixed because when running XF86 v 3 under Mandrake 9.0 there was no problem. (assuming I was using 16-bit color, otherwise same thing). I have seen a report on the internet of a guy running redhat 6.3 on the same type of computer who fixed it by tuning the server somehow. Unfortunately I am as of yet not very knowledgeable in terms of display hardware and software, but I am willing to learn, I just need to be guided in the right direction. My setup: -I have a trident cyber 9525DVD video chip, -I dont know the brand of my 800x600 (245mm x 185mm) Laptop display panel, -I am running XFree 4.(version that ships with redhat 9). -My chip is correctly detected, and I have selected "Generic Laptop Disply Panel 800x600" for my monitor. -The default settings with 800x600 and 16-bit color gives me a properly functioning display apart from the problem mentioned above. -Im running RedHat 9.0 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S-4510. PLEASE someone help!!!! Thanks for reading! +Zach _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
