Athlon 850 w/ Dimaond Viper II (Savage2000), MAG DJ530 Monitor (on RH list, so
i hope this is not a problem)
EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
RH7.0 installs fine in X; i get a nice X log-in screen; As soon as Gnome or KDE
loads the screen gets "scribbled"
Still looking for a solution. Any help, suggestions would be appreciated
thanks, tom
