Various computer installs and results.

[Noah Silva [Mailing list]]

Hi,

I had similar problems in installing, and once I rebooted after
installing in text mode, X "worked".  (For values of "worked" where things
don't refresh properly on the screen).

It's hard to explain the exact problem, but after logging into GDM, I
don't see the desktop appear at once.  Instead, I start seeing the icons
from the gnome-session splash screen.  (I don't even see the whole splash
dialog at once).  Then, for example, t when I bring up the gnome "redgat"
menu, the menu may not actually draw, but as I move the mouse over each
section, it draws in.  Likewise with new windows, some don't "fill in".
It seemed to me that the smaller things worked, but the bigger things
didn't, so I assumed it must be some buffer in xorg or gtk not being big
enough.  (I didn't install KDE).

I tried lowering the res and the colors, and updating xorg, all with no
luck.

The Video controller is:
Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (Rev 03)

When I have a working web browser, I will search bugzilla for something
like this...

thanks,
    noah silva
