-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: i386
Kernel: Linux lapine 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=
My box: H/P Pavilion, AMD 1.2 GHz, 512 MB, mobo AGP video
I was running 'vanilla' with a nice 1280x1024 screen. But when I upgraded to
'bf2.4' to try ext3 journaling, I began to see white flecks across the
screen when CPU activity occurs. The system still functions perfectly,
though.
The flecks appear very early, from boot-up in VGA mode as soon as the kernel
starts, and continue when X and Gnome are running. I have tried the proven
XF86Config-4 file that I was using when I was running 'vanilla', but I still
see the flecks. I have tried running with and without kernel frame-buffers.
If I reduce the color-depth, the problem is mitigated but still very
apparent.
To my knowledge, nothing changed other than the vanilla -> bf2.4 upgrade. I
have now downgraded back to 'vanilla' and ext2 filesystems so that the
display is clear enough to work on.
Hope this info is useful.
