Sound sreasonable.

Currently using Herbert's 2.4.24-1.  I tried various 2.6 kernels prior
to 2.6.1, but xdm couldn't seem to start the server and the USB HID
drivers didn't seem to be functional.

The second head is currently running WindowMaker with the default Debian
background.  In the upper left corner, there is the 1/Main clip.
Directly to the right of that (I assume by 64 pixels or so) is the exact
same 1/Main clip.  In the border between the two are some flickering
white lines.  The rest of the screen is filled with horizontal
flickering black and whitish lines.  The left edge of the swirl is on
the right hand side of the screen.  It appears 5 times.  The "debian"
only appears as "de", though there are about 5 d's and 3 or 4 e's,
overlapping.  The clips themselves look perfect, but nothing else does.

Thanks.
