Re: Creator3D XF86Config-4
Okay, so does this sound familiar to anyone else?
Here's a snapshot of the crummy video:

And here are a couple snapshots of my emaculate desktop!

As you can see, my desktop looks just hunky-dory, yet "lxdoom", as well as

I'd appreciate it if the tip below rings a bell with someone, and they know
how to fix this.
