| First, I am a newbie that can't even spell Linux, so, please type slow.
I have a dual-boot RH 4 Enterprise edition installed on an x86 mobo with
an ATI X1600XT AGP adapter. The monitor is a Sony 24" LCD that looks
crappy with any res but the native 1920x1200.
The generic vid driver that installed with the system maxes out at
1600x1200. When I install the latest driver(8.28.8) from ATI, I can run
1920x1200, but
windows are not refreshed properly. Even system windows like the
Logoff/Restart/Shutdown
window does not display, so, I do NOT THINK IT IS AN XFREE86 ISSUE.
Basically, when I move a window, it disappears as I move it. I can get it to
refresh by clicking the mouse all over the area that I moved it to and it
slowly refreshes the area around
each click!?!?!?! Even when I select restart system, the window does not
even appear, a greyed area in the center
shows up, as I move the mouse around that area, "Logoff", "Reboot", "OK",
selections appear?!?!?!?
As anyone seen this? Are there patches for OS? Patches/new driver for ATI?
thanks,
