kyma•tweaky: Know GraphicsProblems

Problem

I just installed the Win XP version of Kyma X and the 6.01 update. My system seems to work pretty well, though my graphics have a little trouble updating it seems. For example, fragments of windows may be left around, and the vertical cursor doesn't update properly in the timeline.

Solution

This can be caused by a defect in the OpenGL driver for your video card. Check the video card manufacturer's web site to see if there is a driver update you can install.

If you are still experiencing graphics problems, try disabling "Hardware Acceleration of Graphics" in the Miscellaneous Preferences in Kyma.
