As I was flipping through the manual I found a rather odd statement in the troubleshooting section. I quote: Problem: Picture has a double image. Solution: (...) Face the monitor East for best picture quality. Could anyone shed some light on this issue? (Preferably from the East). On a more serious note. I was told that the Moire menu option in the OSD could be used to eliminate the interference patterns I see on the xdm login screen. Could anyone tell me how to use it? When I turn up either horizontal or vertical Moire, I just get a fuzzy image, and the patterns do not disappear. One more question (then I'll let you go). When I more xterms about on the X11 desktop, I get little flashes of white snow on the darker portions of the screen. They only show up when I move windows. What is that? Is that a monitor problem, an X server problem (XFree86 Version 3.3.2.3, SVGA), or a video card (Diamond Viper V330) problem? Thanks for your input, Kees Jan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kees Jan Koster e-mail: dutchman@tccn.cs.kun.nl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Calvin: "Sometimes the world seems like a pretty mean place."
