[techtalk] X issues

Hi Folks,

I have an X problem (I always get nailed with X problems). I did a 
new Progeny Debian install (which uses XFree86 4.0, which detected my 
Video card - a 3D labs permedia, and, I guess is using that driver. 
XF86Config-4 has the right modes, horizontal and vertical refresh for 
the monitor (an LCD panel.)

The color once X is started (true of GNOME or KDE) is, well, off. The 
gradient background doesn't look right, the mouse is a wierd green 
color. About once every 4 times, X gives a blank white screen, and I 
have to ssh in and kill X.

So I think that the X driver I am using isn't the right one - but I'm 
not sure about how to go about fixing this - the generic VGA driver 
does not work.

Suggestions?

Michelle
