I get this on my Winbook laptop (dual scan display) if I use the wrong WD
driver in metro-x or have memory and frame buffer usage misconfigured in
XFree86 or Accel-X.
Which version of RH and which X server are you using, and what is your
hardware? In my case, I did not notice a menu choice in the Metro X
configuration for my *exact* chipset; I chose a more generic western
digital set and encountered the problem you describe. I manually went
through the metro x driver library installed under /usr/X11R6/, and found
a suitable driver. I changed the entry in the main Xwindows config file
(under /etc) and restarted X windows successfully.
The *only* possible "bug" is the apparent lack of the suitable driver
entry in the metro-x setup program. Otherwise, it was simply fixing the
configuration to solve the problem on MY hardware. YMMV.
Hope this helps.
