After starting tuxcard or the program "fracplanet" (creates a 3d model of a planet) and possibly others, my screen looks exactly the same as you can see on the screen shots of S Ait-Kassi.

My Hardware: CPU: AMD 2800+ Graphic card: Radeon 7000 (with 64 Mb RAM) Motherboard: MSI KT4V Chipset: KT400 PS: I got several tips already and they made it a little bit better, but it's still not ok. -- Andreas Theofilu http://www.TheosSoft.net/ --==| Enjoy the science of Linux! |==--
