Re: Xorg problem with 5.3 (FIXED)
The problem was to do with the on-board graphics card. They are rubbish and should not be used. New card is on order. Ah well, never mind. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=*=- www.kierun.org PGP: 009D 7287 C4A7 FD4F 1680 06E4 F751 7006 9DE2 6318 pgpbfrYvjlE4I.pgp Description: PGP signature
Xorg problem with 5.3
I am having an issue with Xorg under FreeBSD 5.3: The screen has lots of small wave-like patterns descending along the screen whenever the CPU does any work. My monitor is a Viglen CRT. Any idea how to solve this? Google is of no help -- at least with the characters I can think of searching under. Versions are: xorg-6.8.2 on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=*=- www.kierun.org PGP: 009D 7287 C4A7 FD4F 1680 06E4 F751 7006 9DE2 6318 pgpfqjH2sGrNT.pgp Description: PGP signature
