Hi all
I started playing with my system (now I have ext3, which means i can just press the
power button
like I do on windows..) and decided to change lilo from a graphic boot into a menu.
Which looks cool
either way.
When I boot from a text menu in lilo, in X I see a ugly "noise" or distorcion in the
screen. I tried changing
resolutions, card drivers, bpp and etc. Nothing helps. I want to say that I have that
problem in x 4.03
and I solved it by reducing the refresh rate of the screen. I thought that it was due
a kernel bug. Which
I found not true when I rebooted into an old kernel. Now nothing helped.
Until I restore lilo boot menu into graphics, run lilo and rebooted. now everything is
OK. 85hz.
Which is the most I can get from this driver anyway (on windows I can do 100hz).
If this bug is not reported whom should I contact:
mandrake? XFree86? Lilo?
The system is mandrake 8.1, X 4.1
monitor Samsong SyncMaster 750s (supported by X4.1)
video card: ATI Rage II, mach64.
kernel 2.4.16.
I use 1024x768x 16 bit display.

My love, he's mad, and my love, he's fleet,
And a wild young wood-thing bore him!
The ways are fair to his roaming feet,
And the skies are sunlit for him.
As sharply sweet to my heart he seems
As the fragrance of acacia.
My own dear love, he is all my dreams --
And I wish he were in Asia.
