By "Jumps all over the place" I mean that each event from the mouse |
46 |
causes the pointer to move to a random location on the screen, until |
47 |
(presumably) something gets confused and it sticks somewhere, usually in |
48 |
the top right corned. |

David's earlier reply helped, and in fact my next question was going to |
51 |
be about the settings for 2.6, so you answered that already! |

One last thing, I stuck an old Matrox Mystique card into a spare PCI |
54 |
slot last time I had the box open. I'd like to use it for my X display |
55 |
because it has XVideo support. When I specify the "mga" driver and the |
56 |
BusID and start the X server, the machine hangs. Is this because I've |
57 |
already initialised the onboard ATI card as a framebuffer? |
