Description Bryan Leopard 2001-03-21 20:24:37 UTC 
We are aware of the  following message in Red Hat Linux 7.1 which appears 
on clicking either on the Trash or Home Directory Icon:
"You are running the Gnome file manager as root. As root you can damage 
your system and the file manager will not stop you. Your manual explains 
how to add a non privileged user account to the system. Don't show this 
message again."
I checked in the box by the message Don't show this message again" and 
tried to clicking on OK, the above message reoccured so I tried to close 
the window and noticed CONTINOUS FLASHING WHITE SCREENS. 
I re-downloaded the image the second time and noticed the same FLASHING 
WHITE SCREENS.

Comment 1 Preston Brown 2001-03-21 23:20:38 UTC 
what video card is in this system?
Comment 2 Bryan Leopard 2001-03-23 16:01:31 UTC 
Video controller chip is ATI RAGE XL. Following is the information read from 
this chip:

215R3LASB41.
D49143
0013SS

Also Video DRAM is 4MB Video SDRAM.
Comment 3 Preston Brown 2001-03-27 22:34:50 UTC 
Unfortunately, I don't have this board in house, so I can't test against it
directly.

If you disable acceleration (add Option "no_accel" to the Device section),
performance will go down, but it may not exhibit the video corruption issue. 
Can you test this for me please?  If it works, I will disable acceleration for
this card.

I also need the PCI ids for this card, which can be output with:

lspci

and for descriptive output:

lspci -v

I need both.
Comment 4 Preston Brown 2001-03-28 20:08:49 UTC 
Also, does Xconfigurator --preferxf3 work for you?
Comment 5 Bryan Leopard 2001-04-03 15:32:55 UTC 
Created attachment 14523 [details]
output of lspci
Comment 6 Preston Brown 2001-04-03 16:57:07 UTC 
can I please also have the output of lspci -n?
Comment 7 Preston Brown 2001-04-03 16:57:48 UTC 
Also, can you test and see if the XFree86 3.3.6 server (XFree86-Mach64) works
with this card?  Install that package, and do a Xconfigurator --preferxf3.

compaq reports resolved out-of-band.
