Hi:

I am running XFree86 version 3.3.3.1 using the S3 Xserver
(generic S3 Trio64V+ PCI with 2 megs) on a Slackware 4.0
distro and 2.2.9 kernel.

The problem is that there is an odd pattern of two sketchy
parallel lines that often follows the cursor around (to the
right and just below the cursor).

e.g.

^ (cursor)
| | (sketchy lines)
| :

(sort of like this)

Any ideas, suggestions, recommendations, leads, websites
and/or advice?

Best regards,

Brian

Hi Folks:

Just a quick note to let you know a solution was found
thanks to the guiding light provided by Ray Ingles.

The problem was that I was initiating gpm (general purpose
mouse) in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

I just commented out the line (for next reboot - could be
weeks) and killed gpm.

No more little lines following my cursor.

Thanks again Ray,

Brian
