From: Martin on 28 May 2010 08:46 I followed the instructions on how to install the drivers for my antique Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4600. As a result the graphics card is working OK, BUT windowing is messed up 1)The left hand column in every window containing text is missing 2)The the icons in the top left corner of all windows for maxising/minimising/closing windows are missing. 3) If I open a terminal I can't type into it.

Don't think gnome has anything to do with this. Try to disable any 3D acceleration and play with refresh rates if possible. this is normally the solution for this kind of problems. taco
