OK, here's a really strange problem. I just installed a new Radeon X1650 Pro card, and it works fine except one little glitch. In linux (Mandriva 2007), my monitor displays this box that says "input not recognized" that floats around the desktop. But behind the floating annoyance, KDE looks and works just fine. I've tried looking in my monitors menu to turn it off, with no success. This problem doesn't happen in Windoze. bardoksan

Thanks again danleff, that worked. Where do you come up with all of these fixes? The fix was as simple as changing the refresh rate back to where it should be. Why didn't I think of that. bardoksan

I recently bought a new Audigy Platinum eX sound card, and I only get a muffled sound from it. I have used an Audigy card with linux before without any problems, so I don't know why this one is different. Could the problem be with the extension card that connects to the external drive? Should I just disconnect the extension card? I do hear sound, but like I had said, it's muffled with a loud hissing sound.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the post you pointed me to, and it didn't work......at first. I ended up doing the exact same thing as the other poster, in that I just started messing around with the mixer and switches, and all of a sudden the distotions disappeared. He had said to turn off the digital mixer, but I don't think that's what cured mine because I turned that on and off a dozen times with no effect. It seemed to kind of fix itself. I just happened to be moving the mixer levels around at the same time. Anyway, thanks again. I'm glad I didn't have to take my machine apart for no reason. bardoksan
