Got it, thanks.
Sadly, the machine is unusable now :-p. As far as I can tell it's a
problem with the X server since it looks fine until it displays the
login screen, at which point I get an unreadable, jumping, flickering
mess in the correct colors for the login screen. I thought at first it
was a refresh rate problem of some kind, but the GNOME cursor looks
fine anywhere on the screen. Anyone have any ideas? This is a Powerbook
G4 DVI 667MHz.
