I installed Debian 2.2 on my home system (a dual PPro with 128MB of
memory, S3 Trio3D video card w/4MB of memory, IBM POWERDisplay/20
monitor [1280x1024@60 or 77 Hz, multifrequency], Logitech trackball).
X works fine (using
the recommended SVGA server, X version 3.3.6). However, when I try to
use GNOME on top of X, the screen disappears into a bunch of little
stripes, and the keyboard locks up (even alt-ctrl-backspace doesn't
work). This was with the GNOME 1.0.53 from Debian. I installed Helix
(GNOME 1.2), same problem. I've done XF86Setup, both putting the
memory in and letting it probe. I use the IMP/2 selection for the
trackball, mouse seems to work. Has anyone else seen
this problem, or have a clue as to why it happens? Equally important
as to the why, anyone have a clue as to how to solve it?

Thought for today: greenbar n.
A style of fanfolded continuous-feed paper
with alternating green and white bars on it, especially used in
old-style line printers. This slang almost certainly dates way back
to mainframe days.
