That definately sounds like X is misconfigured. I'm not sure what to suggest, though. Asking a local Linux expert who could look at it in person would be good.

Even try 640x480 @ 256 colors if nothing else is working. --Ben > > > >>> Ben FrantzDale <bfrantzdale hmc edu> 02/02/03 23:04 PM >>> > On Sat, 2003-02-01 at 21:50, Benjamin Meakin wrote: > > Hello, > > I have been trying to get gnome to work on my debian system.
