I set it up for dual boot with windows XP 2002 (Media Center Edition). I am running a 2 GHZ CPU with !G of RAM and 40 G of disk space for Linux. The problem I am having is that when I boot up into linux the screen looks garbled. Seems like there is a screen refresh problem. Only the area that is around the mouse when I click it gets refreshed. Anyone knows how I can fix this? Thank you, AG

If it ain't broke, you aren't trying hard enough.
