I had problems with MDK 9.0/Xfree86 4.2.x on my desktop because of the S3 Savage 2000 video card. When I reloaded a fresh install to allow for multi-booting into XP Pro, I elected to install XFree86 3.x.x instead. Ever since, I have none of the original problems that I had with the newer server.
Outside of changing the screen frequency to something lower and/or reducing color depth....different drivers or a different server would be the only things that comes to mind. If my understanding is correct, the older server has better support for some video cards and monitors. I would try it if you have exhausted all other possibilities. Can't offer you anything better...sorry.

As far as I know, I'm using the latest drivers with XFree86 4.xx and I can't figure it out. Again, the last install of ML9.0 on this very laptop did not have the problem, but now it pops up again. I've already reinstalled ML9.0 five times now, and each time the problem exists. What on earth could I be missing? -Law ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
