Trouble seeing Gimp (Solved)
Posted: Tue 22 Feb 2011, 04:55
I hope I've put this into the right section of the Forum. My apologies if it's better placed elsewhere.
I'm having trouble with Gimp, and have always had this issue with Puppy. It doesn't matter which version of Puppy, or which version of Gimp, the problem seems to be the same - when I use a brush etc in gimp, I end up with so many green lines across the screen, I can no longer see what I'm doing. See attached image.
I have used Quickpet to install the Xorg High driver as suggested.

Thanks for any help that you might be able to give. I'd love to do more with Gimp.
