Description yamaha7 2004-05-24 10:30:35 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

Description of problem:
Video Harware:  NV17 (GeForce4 MX 440)
Driver Installed:  NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)

As best I can explain you can see the retrace lines as the screen
refreshes itself.  you see a white dash then nothing as it makes its
way from top to botton of the screen.


This problem was introduced in Fedora Core 2.  Core 1 was not a
problem.  I've also encountered this problem running Red Hat
Enterprise WS on the same machine.

When I try to install Nvidia driver for 3D support the screen will
never come up.

configuring need be done.

I'm also experiencing the same problem with the same model card ( A
ChainTech GeForce 4 MX440 ).  The problem only occurs in 24 bit mode
though - if I change my xorg.conf to 16 bit mode the problem goes away.

The machine is an Athlon 2000 XP, with a VIA KT333 motherboard.

I've attached my config file, dmesg output and Xorg.log for both 16
bit and 24 bit modes (the diff shows little difference though).
