Got the same thing, except it's when I move the mouse on the console. Config is: 2.2-Beta Acer 950C P75 / 24 Mb, 800x600 DSTN -- Chips & Tech 65545 The screen flickers when I move the mouse in console mode (Moused). Just for the record, this machine's PCCARD only started working when I applied the patches for PS/2 Keyboard !! And then, moused won't work with the PS/2 mouse - only with serial mice. -- -- Phil -[ Philippe Regnauld / Systems Administrator / regnauld@prosa.dk ]- -[ Location.: +55.4N +11.3E PGP Key: finger regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk ]-
