<div id="RTEContent">Okay, I'm now using the 2.6.12-10-686 kernel and the flickering seems to go away when X has 'warmed up'. So, am I the only person running this kernel (me thinks not) Am I the only one seeing the dark screen gettin whiter at boot up (me thinks). OR, instead of seeing the startup msgs on bootup, have Ubuntu changed it so that we're supposed to get a pretty screen that covers over all of that like M$ ???????? All this happens just after the tar file hase been uncompressed for bootup -Ants David Hart <ubuntu@tonix.org> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On Wed, Dec 07, 2005 at 04:46:57PM +0000, Anthony Gardner wrote: > You've lost me there.

The white screen is really new to me and have never seen it during boot up with any distro I've used. That doesn't sound right. Does it work alright after you get the login screen? > I believe it's to do with X but why it starts up so early, I don't know. I don't understand what you mean about X starting early (most people complain that it takes too long ;) -- David Hart <ubuntu @tonix.org=""> -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </ubuntu></blockquote> </div> <hr size=1> Play <a href="http://santas-christmas-party.yahoo.net/">Santa's Celebrity Xmas Party</a>, an exclusive game from Yahoo!
