OK, so you're seeing strange distortion of the colors and you want to figure out if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I see. Well, the only suggestion I have is rather low-tech; and I'm sure you've thought of it already; but I would suggest installing some other graphical operating system, such as Windows 95, DOS/Win 3.1, etc. and see how things look then. If you still see the smear, it's almost certainly a hardware problem. But again, I'm sure you've thought of that. Maybe someone else has a better idea, but that's all I know to suggest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
