I get a "snow" along the left three columns of the screen. the rest of the text is fine, but a high speed coored snow covers the console a little useless :). Anyone have any ideas? ---- Robert Watson (rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu) * Double major: IDS/CS * H&SS http://www.watson.org/ robert@fledge.watson.org
