I've set it for 72 now, but I suspect it's just not re-wrapping quoted content. Not sure there's anything I can do about that.

Not that I've ever seen AHT come out with an error, but it's the only way I know to test the graphics card. >Booted back into SL and got lines on my desktop now, so maybe it is a >driver problem?

Remember you don't need to use your primary boot partition for testing - while you're in Snow Leopard, you have a Disk Utility that can resize the boot volume. Free up a 10gig partition and install your tests into that. >Also I forgot to mention before another glitch I get sometimes is >"tearing" when scrolling a window.
