Greetings,
I have an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro that I believe has a hardware problem. The displays garbled letters on text displays (I.e. during CMOS POSTing) and multiple dashed or broken vertical lines on graphic displays (VGA with 16 colors) such as using GRUB or during the "Windows 2000" splash page while booting my system (dual boot system). Attached as a picture of what the W2K splash screen looks like during this process
The problems demonstrated are independent of the operating system and using current Catalyst drivers or Linux drivers does not fix the problem.
Also, when fully booted to either OS, 3D apps are simply "broken" and you can see multiple vertical lines (faint) on the desktops. Been working with ATI for an RMA to return the card (they have been less than helpful thus far).
Anyone seen anything like this before? If so, we you able to solve the issue? How?
Thanks,
jae
