- I have a different 6091 m16 problem: vertical lines get all squiggly. When
- running under X, the sides of a window are ragged. Not wavey, but actually
- warped one or two whole pixels. If I run the cursor up and down this vertical
- area, it appears to swim like a tadpole as it wiggles from side to side.
- The problem happens whenever there is a sharp light-to-dark transition (e.g.
- a white box on the left outside of a window will cause the windows left
- veritical border to "kink" at places corresponding to the top and bottom
- of the white box). This happens a lot right in the middle of a line of
- text, making the text painful to read.

- This is connected to a M220 /6000, and IBM's tech has replaced the video logic
- board in the monitor, the VT1 graphics adapter in the /6000, and even the
- /6000's main system board! No luck. He's not yet called Austin, but when
- I get back in the office next week, I'm going to insist...
