I have an xSeries 236 machine running RHEL 4 which has been working pretty well, apart from a few hardware problems. I used up2date and installed the latest xorg packages (xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20). I restarted the machine, but the display is not correct. The monitor is now covered with parallel, diagonal lines. The mouse works, but the display shows a large box with horizontal lines that I can move about the screen. The keyboard seems to be locked as well. I cannot kill the XServer and I cannot change to a text based login screen with the hot keys. I can ssh into the machine. I compared the xorg.conf files from before the update and after and it has not changed. Any idea on what may be going on? I can back out the xorg updates and hopefully get back up and working, but since this is supposed to be a supported piece of hardware I thought there may be a fix out there. -- M.

If it's an S3 based card inside the xSeries, there was an issue with a wrongly compiled xorg binary that may cause this?
If it's another card I don't know. Regards, Ed.
