    I just installed FC 3 on a Compaq iPaq desktop (don't confuse this
    with the handheld iPaqs--this is a regular computer). It's a 1Ghz pIII
    with 384Mb of RAM so it should be able to handle FC3 fine. The only
    unusual thing about this computer is that it's USB-only--it was
    designed for the corporate market as basically a commodity computer so
    all the hardware is built-in--there are no PCI slots, etc. But the
    install didn't have trouble finding the USB keyboard and mouse, or the
    built-in network, sound, and video.

    The built-in video appears to be "Intel 815." I have it attached to a
    21" Mitsubishi DiamondPro monitor. Both were identified fine by the OS
    during the install. But I'm suffering a very strange problem with the
    display. Basically, parts of windows and menu that pop-up are not
    visible until I mouse-over them, and then only in parts. I can also
    get them to show up by dragging another window over them.

    Other similar problems happen too, like the text in this window I'm
    typing doesn't show up until I move the window around and click on
    menus, etc. And then windows that I close don't always disappear from
    the screen until something else takes that spot on the display.

    I tried switching xorg.xonf to using the generic VESA driver, but got
    no display there. I'm not a real X expert so I didn't take it farther
    than that.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks a lot,
    Matt
