I neglected to mention I'm using Xfree86 4.2.1 from Debian testing. As a followup: I tried a number of things, from using the gatos project ati.2 4.2.0 binaries with the debian 4.2.1 distribution (caused wierd flicker), to installing 4.2.0 binaries from Xfree86.org and using the gatos binaries... none of which worked. I decided to go back to my backups of my /usr/X11R6 directory (made just before trying the gatos binaries -- when I was still having the problems with the vertical banding) -- and lo and behold but it's working now. Not sure what to attribute it to, if anything -- just going to go with it for now. Thanks for the suggestions, all. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
