Hi all,

I just got a Alpha 255/233 system running DU4.0, uname is:
        'OSF1 goofy V4.0 386 alpha'

I have a few questions:

1) I have noticed on several occasions that a 'core' file appears in the root
   directory '/'. I have no idea what is causing it. Has anybody seen this on
   there systems ??

2) The graphics card that is installed is a 'PBXGB-AA' model. When I drap icons
   around the desktop, the background behind the icon as it is moved leaves a
   trail of blurry pixels. It looks like the background image is not re-drawn
   properly. I constantly have to use the 'Refresh' to fix it.

   Has anybody had this problem, if so how did they fix it ??

   I dont know whether it could be graphics card at fault, or settings on the
   X-Server side for that particular card.

Any Help is appreciated, as my eyes are becomming blurry watching it !!
