> Some of them are visible but some look like blank rectangular spots.
> We verified the fact that other Linux workstations, using older

> To me it looks like refreshing rate of this new card is too high to

Try doing a screen grab and viewing the captured image in a dumb bitmap
viewer. This will tell you whether the data going to the monitor is good
or not. You may need to load a new driver.
