There isn't much more info, but here it is:

So does that help any?  What's going on here?

>  What video card are you using?

A cheapie S3-based piece of junk.  The brand is `Datona'.  (I say ``junk''
because I tried using it with XFree86 before, and I could never get it to
work 100% correctly. I mostly worked, but whenever I moved the mouse, or
whenever there was any change in what appeared on the screen, many thin
horizontal white lines would flash momentarily in seemingly random places
all over the screen.  I just chalked it up to crap/cheap electronics and
used another card.)

Should I try swapping the video card out?
