Gnome malfunctioning
I dual-booted a Pentium 166 with 48mbs of RAM and 2 gig HD between Windows 95 and Redhat 7.
I installed the workstation setup, and selected Gnome as my GUI. Everything went fine, setup was great, no bugs. My monitor is ancient, so it was in the monitor list, and I entered my VRAM as 1mb.
All was well, until I attempted to use Gnome. The loading screens were OK, but everything else was blotchy, gray areas covered icons and menus, and, shortly put: Horrible.
I have no idea what to do, I have considered reinstallation, but have dismissed that thus far as an act of insanity.
Any help? I hope I gave enough info here..
