Monitor Problems Re: about the linux ATI proprietary drivers writers team


Sorry to change the direction of this thread. I've posted my problem
before, but I got no answers to it.

The problem is with the LCD Monitor and when I boot up the PC it
remains dark, after the OS (Ubuntu Studio 7.10) is up and running I
get a log-in, I can also switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+FX 1-6) but
the fonts are huge about 10 mm high, this means that vim for example
displays 22 lines.

Using Gnome (but mostly XFCE) I get a bunch of vertical lines about
half of the monitor, from the bottom up.

Now I took some screen-shots with gimp, and lo and behold, on the
pictures taken there are no such lines to be seen, (looked at them
on another PC with another OS on it.

How does it work that gimp takes a picture of the screen, but it
doesn't capture the fault?
