Greetings Randall, I was looking at the image again last night and belive I mispoke about the symptoms. I'll try to save a snap tonight when I'm in front of the machine. The Video card is a PCI Mach 64 by ATI. The symptom is more of a ghost of the intial image when the window is either first brought up or when you remove any overlapping window. If I rember correctly I think I also saw more effect of seeing each scan line as if the interlace isn't right. As I said I'l save a snapshot wo see if I can send you the results. By the way....I'm really having fun getting this to work. Getting Multimedia to work under Unix adds a whole new dimension to Unix.
