Hi, could we please get this fixed?  The machine is lockpick.mit.edu,
in 24-618 (the ESG cluster), and is a Dell GX110, I think.  It seems
to have the horizontal streaking problem indicating a bad video
board.  Please phone Julie x8-0481 or Holly x3-7786 if you need the
combination.

Hello - We found out today that the video card on lockpick.mit.edu
(leftmost Dell machine on long table, ESG cluster) causes the display
to streak images horizontally.  Large white and black bands appear
that are the width of the screen.  We tested by attaching a different
monitor to the machine and the same problem was found.

Thanks,
Toh.
