The problem _is_ proving to only very intermittent afterall. KDE does seem to be working fine for the most part, and surprisingly fast on this system (only a Pentium- 120). Other window managers gave me the same graphics glitches, which were fixed by "refreshing" the screen. I will go ahead and stay with KDE for now, since it seems to be operating fine now; though I am keeping AfterStep on the system as well just in case. I've uninstalled all other Window managers in order to free up some drive space. After a little more tweaking (testing various packages, and uninstalling ones I don't need), I will be putting in a 2MB video card (S3 Vision968 - PCI) and disabling the on-board video. This system is even lower on the hand-me-down upgrades chain than the other experimental system I'm tinkering with, so it will be a while before he gets a 4MB or better video card. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
