     As a newbie, I am uncertain about how much is enough concerning 
     information about this problem.
     
     I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.6, on a Compaq Deskpro, with a built-in 
     video card, which FreeBSD reveals as an "ATI Mach64 with IBM514 
     Ramdac".  The Monitor is a Gateway2000 EV700.
     
     The install was working correctly, including X, at one time, except 
     that the /usr directory was maxed out at 103%, so I opted to reinstall 
     on the same machine using a larger portion the  3GB harddisk for the 
     /usr directory.
     
     I think I did everything exactly like the first time, but now, when X 
     gets running, the display shows that there seems to be a devideing 
     line in the center of the display, where when the mouse is passed over 
     it, it disappears in the center of the screen and reemerges from 
     either the right or left.  The left side of the display is stable as a 
     rock, while the right half seems to have a little flicker in it.
     
     Frankly, I don't even know enough about UNIX, X, or FreeBSD to begin 
     to look for the problem. 
     
     Anyone have any suggestions?
