Redrawing problems using FC2 and Compaq Presario Laptop

[matthew.east]

Hi,

I am having some problems with my display. I am running FC2 on a Compaq Presario Laptop, with a celeron and 191MB of RAM. The graphics card is an ATI 340M and the driver is xorg radeon. I can't post my config or log files as I don't have the machine with me at the moment, but I have already posted them on another thread, along with many more details about my system and a example .png of the problem are on another thread: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1740

I will describe the problems: I get redrawing problems when I scroll down slowly in gnome terminal, and frequently when I'm using Openoffice.org (e.g. when changing the margins lines will stay on the screen, or when inserted footnotes the edges of prompt boxes will stay on the screen). I can't play tuxracer, I simply get a blue screen with strange blue lines running down it.

Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate it very much indeed. It is basically the only problem with the system, and is irritating me a lot!!

A thousand thanks, Matt

I've been playing around with this problem over the weekend, and have not managed to resolve it. All the modules are loading fine as far as I can see. I'll attach my log this time.

I tried booting Mandrake Move to have a look at the configuration and to see if the problem reoccured. X was clean as a whistle, even without direct rendering (not supported on that version of XF86). So I tried transferring as many of the relevant parts of the mandrake config file, and still made no difference to my problem in fedora. So I presume it can only be caused by (1) gnome (mandrake move runs KDE) or (2) some difference which is not obvious between xorg and XFree86.

Does anyone know how to help me??!!

Would appreciate it a lot!!
