You have to tell us some more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have - which version and which edition (main or any of the CEs)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here - would be nice to know the rest
Also tell us if this is using mint4win or not, quite important
I don 't recognize Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] - seems to be from about 2004
With the newest drivers from ATI you need to use some legacy driver - only the newest cards are supported in the "normal" driver
Which driver do you use?
Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I have seen such dots as you write caused by overclocking, overheating, or faulty memory and god knows what - they just appeared (have sold computer hardware) The part about the VNC client is really odd
To be sure - a client on this computer?
