Display glitch using new Linux on old Laptop

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

 



I recently updated (mad fool) my (old) HP Omnibook 4150 to
Mandrake 2006.

I cannot get the display to "be sensible".

For example, this is a snapshot of the gimp tool panel
after start up.

The tool icons are stacked up "wrong".

Other applications are putting icons outside their own window,
randomly on the desktop, or other windows etc.

My hardware is (apparently) a
NeoMagic NM2200 multimedia chipset (aka NM256 A/V),

HardDrake reports this as "MagicGraph 256AV"

The config tool presents me with a list of "X servers"
to choose from;

I am using the NeoMagic->MagicGraph option.

I would welcome any information/pointers as to how to proceed.

(my sound doesn't work either, but that's for another list)
