System alsohas a Bustec SCSI Bt946c controller. The problem: when I start X11 ( thru xdm for example ) , everything starts just fine - the picture is nice and steady. But when I log in and _just press keys on the keyboard, the screen image becomes very weird : for every key press you get fast line moving quickly down the screen - the white line with width between .5-2 inches. If you press keys quite often - it just becomes impossible to see anything on the screen When you start any program which outputs on the sceen - the same stuff happent - a lot of noisy lines move sporadically on the screen - mostly down. I;ve tried differnet monitors and couple of different cards, as well as tried to change card's slots - nothing helps. Played a lot with BIOS setups - with no effect as well . All the binaries , the same card and the monitor work just fine on other computer here - but the brands are different. That one which doesn't work is Comtech P90 with AMI BIOS. Any suggestions ?
