Hi,
I'm going to have to think about this a bit...
I don't think that during the alpha testing period that anyone ran the screen set on a PC that was lower resolution than the minimum required 1024x768.
I've only seen the "black button" draw happen in conjunction with the dialog box on top of a button (as described in the errata note).
Some questions:
1) When you change to another page and then back to the page that had the black buttons, do the buttons redraw correctly?
2) Are you using the mach menu general config option "auto screen enlarge" to shrink the screens?
3) does your netbook pc attempt to make a smaller vertical physical screen resolution (600) look like 768 high to windows applications? (I"m wondering if there is a netbook specific layer of software in the windows screen driver that could be causing a problem)

P.S. I moved your post to a separate topic so that this discussion would be separate from the welcome thread.
