If it weren't so freakin' annoying I'd think it was cool. The basic situation is I just transferred from ResNet to Linux at my college, and my first job was to set up a linux box in the ResNet office so they could start learning it. Slack 8.1 is like THE distro for school linux boxes here, so that's what I'm using. If I'm not mistaken, it uses XFree86 4.2.0. It has an onboard S3 Trio3D video card which I managed to get to run X with the "s3virge" driver. Here's the strange thing. When I get into X, everything looks alright. Then I right-click to bring up a menu, and run Mozilla, and it's like I'm in funhouse mirror. There's this invisible line running down the middle of the screen. Then if you take the right half of the screen, it itself is divided into thirds. How do I now these lines are there? Because each line creates its own screen that tries to copy the left half of the screen. I have a screen of it, hopefully attached. Check it out; it's really weird. Oh, and if anyone has any idea how to fix it, that would be cool, since the novelty wore off rather quickly.
