I am running Woody on an old laptop (IBM Thinkpad 560), and X is doing something really wierd. Whenever I get into X, about the top inch of the screen just stays greyed out, and if you try to move your mouse over it, it displays what should be there at the bottom of the screen. What should I do about this? Thanks, Bob Vila
That means your video settings aren't correct for your hardware. Tinker with color depth, resolution, drivers via "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86".
