Everything went just as planned except when it = came to installing X. The installer detected my video card (ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW) fine = and configured my pretty generic LCD monitor (60 Hz refresh rate, if = that matters). I intend to use 16 or 24 bit color with 1024x768 as my = resolution (these do work as I have tried them under Windows XP). When it came time to test my settings, I clicked OK. What came up was a = slightly scewed (did I spel that right?) picture of my desktop. I tried = different settings (different resolutions/color depth) but with the same = results. I kept going with the installation, thinking it might work = upon completion, but on the first boot-up, the graphics were still = messed up. Basically, it look like there is a bunch of streaks down my screen. = They are virtical lines that mess up a few pixels around them. The = screen is still pretty readable, but text is difficult to make out = sometimes. I'm pretty sure it is a configuration problem, because = taking screen shots and viewing them in Windows reveals a perfectly = clear screen. What can I do about this? What settings should I change? = Where? If I did not give enough information, please email me back. Thank you = for a great product, and I look forward to getting it resolved. Thank you so much, Andrew Lindeman ------=_NextPart_000_001A_01C205BC.B63125E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I've recently bought a laptop (Compaq = Presario=20 2800) and installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 on it.
