About 3/4 of the way toward the right side of the screen, there are green dots zipping down the screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install wolverine, choosing the defaults for the X configuration 2.Boot up in run level 5. This happens on a Dell Inspiron 4000. Pentium. ATI Mobility M3 video card. 8MB video memory. Actual Results: Everything looks pretty normal except for the dots. Expected Results: No dots.
