I got the display problem using an early Bondi Blue iMac, with a meager 2MB
video display and 32MB of system memory. It appears that the problem
stemmed from selecting a video resolution that the machine did not
appreciate. Initially I Chose 800x600x32bit, and it gave a screen in grey
1 screen height and 4 screen widths wide. The problem was solved by
running DrakConf and setting the video colour level to 16 bit on my
particular machine.

I also had this on an initial install after choosing the UK location. I
defaulted to US on the next install and the error went away. I didn't not
any real problems apart from the error messages though.
