Heh, just did a clean install of 10.10 at our office to an older Dell
that I jerked the eensy-weensy video card out of and installed something
equally as old but better, an nvidia 4400 that I had lying around here.
HUGE difference in the performance of the machine, no doubt, having GL
acceleration. But, I got some kinda effect, as you did, like a ghost
image when I cranked up firefox. 

Kinda like seeing the face of Jesus on the skin of a potato, this looked
almost like just the white part only of the Windows 95 Icon seen on
first boot up. A MIRACLE?? I wonder what Gates would pay for it?? I'll
have to do as you do, ignore it until our Non-Profit can afford better
video cards. But, the office went crazy when I cranked up a video game
and used the rocket launcher on the aliens. I just didn't mention the
strange ghost. 

Yes, we'll happily accept donations of older nvidia AGP cards! :) Ric
