rros LQ Newbie Registered: Mar 2001 Location: Pretoria, South Africa Posts: 7 Rep:	I have installed RedHat 7.0 on my machine (800MHz AMD, 256Mb RAM) with a Diamond Stealth III S540 graphics card. I use KDE and it seems to start up. That is until I try to move or resize a window. This operation clutters the whole screen. The screen restores perfectly when I choose to refresh the screen, but it is very annoying! I discovered that changing the XF86Config file to indicate that the card has no_accel seems to fix the problem. However, this causes the mouse pointer to be a large white block (approx 1cm x 1cm) - Very difficult to use! Can anyone help please?
