It seems Andy responded to a question by Anders Lennartsson: >There are those who would have you believe that Anders Lennartsson wrote: >> Hi >> >> I'm trying to configure X on a PII 300 Mhz dual proc with a Creative >> TNT2 Vanta PCI card and running Woody. snip >> The problem is for instance that if I click on the desktop the menu >> (fvwm menu) comes up with an offset to the right >> and is unstable and has stripes.

In response I can say that: The picture does not wrap around. It is what I would call wiggly and has horizontal banding (each being one or a few pixels wide jumping back and forth sideways) no bright stripe on either side Its regtangular and if only an empty desktop is shown, it looks quite ok. Further, I have since discovered that the file /var/log/xdm.log contains the following lines snip (II) NV(0): Supported VESA Video Modes: (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) NV(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0 (II) NV(0): Supported Future Video Modes: (II) NV(0): #0: hsize: 640 vsize 480 refresh: 85 vid: 22833 (II) NV(0): #1: hsize: 800 vsize 600 refresh: 85 vid: 22853 (II) NV(0): #2: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 85 vid: 22881 (II) NV(0): #3: hsize: 1280 vsize 1024 refresh: 85 vid: 39297 (II) NV(0): #4: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 75 vid: 20393 (II) NV(0): #5: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 85 vid: 22953 snip Where the last section indicates that the 1600x1200 mode is not yet supported. I guess this closes my question.
