Now there's a subjective statement if ever I saw one.  B^)

I originally had a Riva-128 AGP graphics card on a K6-2/3D 500Mhz system 
and I don't remember this problem on RH9.  [warning:  I could be wrong! 
  I don't remember anymore!]

Now I'm running the GeForce-2 MX400 AGP on an Athlon 2600+ system.
The graphics card is better, the CPU is better, and I'm on FC2, but the 
problem exists.   B^{
