Re: [newbie] display blinking

[Bruce K Hilliker]

I had this problem when I tried installing Corel Linux, I found this in their FAQ.  And it worked for me.  I'm not sure if it's the same problem - but; on my machine, the only time the keyboard was active (you could type) was when the screen was visible (get you timing right). At the prompt (when it appears) type "killall kdm" (without the quotes).  Once you've accomplished this (it took me a little while).  Go to directory "/usr/X11R6/bin", and run "XF86Setup" (without the quotes).  The directory and application names are case sensitive.  Now these is the directory and application in Corel Linux.  I'm not sure if there the same in MD.  I didn't have any (well not much) problems with my video in MD as with CL.  Hope this helps   Bruce :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: alex.avellaneda To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2000 4:53 AM Subject: [newbie] display blinking I just installed mandrake but as it loads, the screen is blinking every 4-5 sec.; I guess it's got to do with the refreshing rate or something (my display: LCD, TFT, I haven't got any doc for its config). Could you help? Thank you. to reply remove the REMOVEME from the address
