Only random generic troubleshooting items: - how's your heating? screen corruption looks like memory or bus errors. are you running powerd? - can you set up a serial or firewire connection to it and monitor the machine from there ("screen corruption" may also mean a kernel message being printed in text mode, in the part of memory now mapped for graphics - if this is the case you'll see the message over the serial console). --------------enigA60BA1FA501D779951BCF166 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHL5W1ldnAQVacBcgRArHMAKCb4E/SwReM1XO5T1GmX0DyRHuyHQCgt9HH ReF5uMQhtRomLzwnUtIJmPQ= =1mYr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigA60BA1FA501D779951BCF166--
