Folks,
I've recently upgraded to Red Hat Linux 7.3 after
using 6.2 for a few years without any trouble. Now, I
see horizontal lines that show up and disappear during
any movement on the screen when in X. If I dont touch
the mouse or keyboard, I do not see this problem, just
a clean screen.
My card shows up as an "S3 Virge (generic)" when
probed, and I know it has 4 Meg of ram. I use an IBM
P200 monitor, which I don't know for sure it's
capabilities, but the XFree86 logfile says can handle
hsync range of 29.00-90.00 kHz, and vrefresh range of
50.00-120.00 Hz.
I'm trying to do a resolution of 1280x1024 and 16 bpp,
but have also used 1024x768 at 16 and even 8 bpp to
make sure it could handle this.
My biggest hangup is that this used to work fine
without the lines showing up on my display, and I
always used the defaults that were probed. I never
had to mess with the configuration in the past. I am
starting to wonder now if the hardware has problems.
Anyway, help would be appreciated, I didn't include
the whole XFree86.0.log but only parts that I thought
were important(below). If the whole thing would be
helpful let me know and I'll repost.
Thanks,
-Matt
