Well here are the results of the tests so far. It looks like it is the Radeon that somehow causes the problem. I get corruption with only the graphicscard installed - with or without 3D enabled. The card is a Radeon 9200 with 256MB bought with the Mediator directly from Elbox.
The problem in short is that I get graphics corruption when I resieze/move the window of OWB (both MUI version and the latest Reaction version). OWB is the only program that I have really noticed this with. I have not experienced anything similar on OS3.9.
I have recorded three movies on my iPhone and uploaded them to dropbox to illustrate. I must warn in advance that the movies are rather large. Think the best way to play tem is to download them and play them locally.
I am aware that the constant resiezing I do is not "normal" behavior but the result are the same if I do it over a longer period of time.
With only the Radeon and a ethernet card (in the correct position according to the FAQ).

I will test some more with other programs/other position of the cards in the weekend.
Anything special I can do to get closer to a solution/finding the specific cause of the problem. Unfortunately I do not have other PCI graphics cards so I can not test with another card.

I think I have the same (or very similar) card from Elbox that also reports 256MB, I will see if I can replicate this on the weekend.JohnFante wrote:Well here are the results of the tests so far.

Strange though, it looks like the video memory is not refreshing/updating, just overwriting itself and getting corrupted.

Have you been able to replicate the error?DarrenHD wrote:I think I have the same (or very similar) card from Elbox that also reports 256MB, I will see if I can replicate this on the weekend.

I have tried with other programs but so far I do not get the error on other programs OWB. I will try with some more memory hungry ones in the comming days.
Thank you in advance!

Re: OWB gives screen corruption on Radeon + Mediator 4000Di
The problem is related to my graphics card.
I bought a Saphire Radeon 9250 - 128 MB and with that card there are no corruptions.
If anybody in the development team is interrested in borrowing my Radeon 9200 to fix the problem they are welcome.

Re: OWB gives screen corruption on Radeon + Mediator 4000Di
Well glad you got the Sapphire card working. In fact during testing we did use Sapphire cards - and as you have found out they do work Although the 256MB version was/is segmented so only 128MB is available.
Sorry the Elbox card didn't work for you - earlier 256MB Radeon's from elbox did work - I am using one in my A4000 as I type this - it's what we tested with - and it works. They must have changed cards.
