Monitor damage after installing game (Wine - Linux)
Hello,
I just tried to instal "Guild Wars" under Wine on my SuSE 10.1 linux system. The installation went fine and the initial images were perfect, but suddenly an about 5cm wide column on the extreme right of my display began flickering and finally went white. This stayed. Even at boot time and in BIOS setup, the column stays the same. Only with X running, a shadow of the "true" display is visible among vertical lines. I fear that I somehow damaged my monitor. Is there anything that I could do to resurrect my "white column"? System data: Toshiba Satellite P30 Series (Japanese Dynabook WX 3727WDS) ATI Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP MS3; RS300 5835 LG Phillips LCD Monitor (16:10 17" WXGA, 1440x900) Softwa SuSE Linux 10.1 wine (most recent.... xx.xx.22) Display Driver: ati (non-proprietary standard driver) We already tried a BIOS reset to defaults and removing the BIOS battery, to no measurable effect. Thank you, Thea Bergermann Nuernberg, Germany |

Is there anything that I could do to resurrect my "white column"? The game didn't cause this. It failed on its own. There isn't much you can do short of relacing the screen. Well, you can try replugging the connector (hey, you got the thing apart far enough to remove the bios battery). Is it under warenty?
