Hi all,

just tried to install 8.2 and on two different machines,

athlon 1.0 ghz epox 8kta3 pro mb with ati 3d rageIIc 8mg agp card

and 200mmx intel with s3 trio 4mg video card

both have a presario 1500 monitor ( trinitron tube ) 

on the regular settings of 1024x768 24 and 16 bit using generic
non-interlaced SVGA 1024x768 at 60 Hz 800x600 at 72 Hz ( which I used
with both 7.2 and 8.0 just fine ) ,

it will look stable for a minute or two then the screen goes blank for a
few seconds then back on /off /on / etc. 

may be the monitor but don't know how to correct this problem.

I really would like to run 8.2 but can't change both monitors out at
this time.

Any suggestions or known fixes ??? 

can I run a different version of Xfree86 , like the 4.0.3 patch level 7
Like I run in 8.0 ?
