Linux 7.1 Kernel 2.4.2-2 XFree86 4.0.3 Dell FP1500 flat panel LCD monitor Pentium III, 256 k mem Voodoo3 3000D, 16 mb mem Logitech wheel mouse, installed as 'generic 3-button'.
After about 20 minutes, video shifts slightly, like a double exposure film. Subsequently opened windows, e.g. the log-out window, appear without background, but with the menu items visible. In others, window frames will be visible, but no contents. Re-starting X corrects the screen. Seems more prone to occur when in a text page, or in a browser window. Cannot predictably cause it to happen. On install, Linux correctly found the video card and monitor, and consequent entries in XFree86 config seem correct. Will send / attach sections of config, if suggested.
Tried Option "noaccel" and Option "no-bitblt", to no avail.
Any help is appreciated. If suggest commands, options, please be complete with the syntax, as I'm new at this. Thank you.
