xwindows show garbled display

(1/1)

digitalbob:
the windows are not drawn correctly. maybe it is not redrawing itself. only when i hover over the command buttons they become visible. while scrolling through texts it does not display the text correctly. on the menus only when  
I hover over the items they become visible. this problem was present also while installing. I am using Redhat Linux Fedora Core 3.

Hi


May be its resolution problem...Try to change MODES settings in
/etc/X11/XF86Config file






Change ur Modes from

Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480

to

Modes "800X600", Try to change it...........and let us know.

                            { i.e lower resolution }

Try to change below mentioned things ..may be it will work:

DisplaySize  280        210
        HorizSync    30.0 - 54.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0

and after that test it using command
