[Newbie]windows/icons disappear after mouse cursor move on ThinkPad A31p w/framebuffer driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I'm running (or trying to get to run...) RH7.2 on a ThinkPad A31p. Since
the ATI Mobility 7800 is not supported, I installed the framebuffer
driver, which comes up fine (running in vesa mode 884, 16x1200, 16 bpp).
When I do startx the screen first goes gray, then light blue, then some
icons come up on the left, along with a window. Everything looks fine.
However, when I move the mouse, the windows & icons disappear. I still
see the mouse cursor, and clicking the various buttons also produces the
appropriate menus, but no windows ever appear.

This is probably something really stupid, but I just don't know what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
