I installed Ubuntu Linux into an old Dell with rage M3. It had Windows 2000, and I don't recall this issue in Windows 2000. There is a dash or hyphen that changes slightly in length at about 3/4 of the way across the screen, and it moves vertically from top to bottom (I believe it appears in several places in the same horizontal position simultaneously). This does not happen on a console screen, only in X.<br>
