What's your video card? I'm using an on-board ATI Rage 4mb on an old Dell Optiplex GX1 and the fade-out has always been choppy. I used to have a TNT2 which wasn't choppy. I'm also using a T30 with a Radeon 7500 that also fades smoothly when logging out. I guess it's all dependent on your video card. > > Has anyone else experienced this?

Just check the option "Enable Assistive Technologies", and don't bother checking anything else. It should disable the fading. I say should as I've only tested this on FC1 and 2. I haven't tried on FC3 yet but it's all probably the same. No I won't try as it's 3:10am here and I have to sleep. =) dex
