Most of the time it displays as a translucent rectangle of randomly = placed pixels, with the upper-left corner the "hot spot." It moves with the = mouse, and sometimes as it passes over a widget it looks normal, but = eventually it goes back to a pixel swarm. I have not discovered a clear = pattern but it seems as though system widgets like a maximize button or a = menu trigger the swarm. I also see what I assume is another instance of this problem, only this one = does not involve the mouse. After switching to the console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, = going back to my X session with Ctrl-Alt-F9 produces a screen of pixel noise = garbage for five or ten seconds, then the desktop appears normal. There are two special features about the build. I installed the gnome2 port = with make -DBATCH install clean, and there was a loss of power midway = through. When I restarted I got an error about a truncated toolkit.o file = under gtkmm, which I got past with a make clean and a make in the associated = port directory. So far I have deinstalled / reinstalled these ports: gtkmm-2.12.7_1 gtk-2.12.11.1 glib-2.16.5 Is there a quick fix for this? Do I need to reinstall Gnome? Is pkg_delete = gnome2-2.22.3 the best way to get rid of my current installation? -- Gary Dunn, Honolulu osp@aloha.com http://openslate.net/ http://e9erust.blogspot.com/ Sent from a Newton 2100 via Mail V
