Fedora Core 3 Help

jonnybadd

Ok I'm a newbie to linuz and recently acquired a decent box to install Linux on. The Specs are:
PIII 750
256 MB Ram
Integrated Video
20Gb Hdd

Anyways I checked the Minumum specs for Fedora and it seems be match whats required

It installed no problem with a GUI, i could log in fine etc, no problems there. But when it came to navigating folders etc. there seems to be a major problem. When i open a window, it opens with just the frame of the window visable(1) and nothing else, then when i drag the mouse over the window the icons for folders etc will appear, but it still wont 'fill out' the rest of the window(2). And when i click on, say, a folder, the new window will open with the old one still visable through it(3). This makes navigating next to impossible.

So i rebooted thinking it could be a first time boot problem or something but then i got these screens(4, 5), only for a few seconds after i logged in, then the normal desktop and the same problems as before.

So i uninstalled and reinstalled but the same problem persisted. Any ideas on the problem or how to solve it?

Cheers for any help

First thing to do:

Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a graphical text editor and paste all the contents here.

Also, what integrated video card is it? Intel 810? 845?

And lastly, you might see the other Fedora post a few threads down, for a similar problem.

# To customise XKB settings to suit your keyboard modify the

# If youd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
