The snowy is constant and abundant, and it seems to be independent of video size (640 through 1600) and screen occupation (single prompt line to fullscreen mc session) and usage. > I presume that X's nv driver or vesafb does not exhibit this problem? X's nv gives a very clean display, /unless/ I load nvidiafb before: if I modprobe nvidiafb (it's a module, and it's blacklisted precisely for this reason), then the screen is very snowy with X's nv too. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
