Hi, I installed Linux-Mandrake 9.0. Everything went pretty smooth. Selected Gnome for default desktop. After install, upon reboot got "first-time" (I think) screen, to do more configuration. This screen was unusable, because the display was all messed up. I had basically three vertical bands across the screen: red, green, and blue, I think. On top of that, there was the first-time screen, but it was all out of sync and mostly unreadable. Also, I couldn't find the mouse pointer anywhere on the screen, not that there was really anything to click on. I had to use the cpu reset button to quit the screen.
Since then, when I boot I go right to desktop, but the screen is still messed up. The left-hand third of the display is repeated in the middle and right sides of the screen, and it's kind of wavy and unreadable in places. On that screen, I was able to find the mouse pointer and get to a menu item called "action->logoff" (I think that's what it was), but that's all. Has anyone seen this? I guess it's something to do with X. Where do I go from here? I uninstalled Mandrake, and will re-install soon, but what do I do different, or if I end up with the same thing, how do I troubleshoot? My system is motherboard: GVC-VP1541 cpu: AMD-K6P2/350 video: SiS 5598/6326 PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0 monitor: NEC MultiSync FP1370 Thanks, Tim ------------------------------------------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance Unlimited Long Distance only $29.95/ month!
