In JAVA.. one could call this a lack of double buffering... but it's way worse than that in here...
The actual definition would be the lack of the repainting of the screen.
ever had the problem when starting out with java, when you move, say a Rectangle across a screen, it leaves a black trail...? I've got it. The oni time that anything will display properly is if it's a button, and i put my mouse, over it, or if it's text, and i highlight it.
For those who don't know JAVA...
The display picture will not "refresh". When i start a program, the contents display the dekstop background. Only when i put my mouse over an item will it display that portion. To put it simply. Anything that i do, the only thing that will show is the desktop background. , the start menu(only the menu bar, none of the contents appear properly.), and the skeletal part of any program i run.
I hope i can explain it better this way. Picture a background picture with the start menu. Clicking and stuff, opening windows, etc, all works fine in principal. But just the functions... The displaying of that however... The object's background can only be seen onMouseover(for buttons) and for passages of text, onHighlight.
It's like moving a window, but the images of the old window still remain..
X is the window.
---------------------
| X |
---------------------
When i move the window to the right, for example...
---------------------
| XXXXX |
---------------------
Traces of the old window display remain...
I don't think i explained it too well. If i could get a screenshot i would've posted it here but the distro is installed on another com...
I seriously can't do anything with it.
Using a HP Vectra p3 with onboard graphics card.
Problem is evident with all users, including root.
one problem.. terminal also faces the problem.. all the stuff inside doesn't appear properly.. anyway to boot to a terminal where i can access the stuff instead of booting up fedora then trying to get into a terminal?
i'm guessing those were generated by the installer...
My VidCard can handle it up to 1024x768.. but my monitor is very very old... 640x480 is the only reso that, it would appear, can be displayed properly in fedora. and yet the display isn't good.
In windows it can go up to 1024x768.
I'm using a generic Datamini monitor that i bought second hand so there's no manual or anything....
u ned to look for those values from the internet then and see of they are fine
i have not seen such range for horizontal and vertical monitors
maybe since ur monitor is old that is the reason but u need to confim that
