Hello all,
I've just installed debian on an old Dell Dimension 4600, for fun, and all is well except the screen. What's displayed is super patchy. For example, "Time" might be displayed as " me."
It's just the desktop. When I open an application, everything displays fine.
Any idea what might be causing This?
Here's what it looks like, if it helps:
