I've run into a major display problem on newly installed fedora 11, on my 6 years old pc which runs a pentium4 2.4 GHz processor, 1 gb ddr ram, intel 845 motherboard with integrated graphics card. When i open an image or play a video, my complete screen turns garbled. I simply cannot make out whats on my screen. With difficulty i have to close the image/video window and move around the folder window to clean the screen image. Is it because of my display drivers? How can i fix it? I also ran into mp3 plugins and flash issues which i was able to resovle.

I'm new to linux, the sole purpose of isntalling it on my old pc was to learn linux but this display problem is frustrating me.

Thanks,

Salman

Did you upgrade your system to the most recent version? (All the packages). Or could you try Fedora 12? – Shiki May 7 '10 at 18:40
