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?
