Iceweasel messing with video & screen flickering
I using debian lenny 5.0 32 bit on my laptop I installed the latest nvidia driver by the nvidia installer (it compiled the driver into the kernel). My video card is Quadro FX 1500M Now, I have the following issue: Whenever iceweasel is running, Kaffeine/mplayer either have black screens (sound still comes), or they play fine at the opened window size, but if I try to change the window size, I get a black screen. Also, a couple of times when both kaffeine and iceweasel were running, suddenly many iceweasel windows got green and black sripes arcoss them. The stipes disappeared when I minimised and then unminimised them. But then the entire screen started flickering.

Re: LCD screen flickering
I don't think that it is hardware problem. Similar on (desktop, not laptop): 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0e) "i810" driver from ubuntu (!), and older from debian works fine. Also change from "intel" to "vesa" solves problem. Some pixels on top of the screen flickers.

The only way to tell if this is a bug in sid or a dying graphics card, would be to try again with the old driver (maybe with a knoppix cd or similar that was known to work before). I recently had similar problems when my display started to flicker whenever a projector was attached to the notebook. I guess in my case it is a problem with dying hardware, since the problem is independent of the OS that I boot.

LCD screen flickering
Hi, everyone I used a toshiba laptop on debian/stable, and everything was OK! Now I am using debian/sid for some reasons, but some character in some fields on LCD screen is flickering, after a long time running debian, it will flicker more worse sometimes. I can't take a screenshot because it always looks good from the picture what I get :-( kernel2.6.24+13: i386 xorg 1:7.3+10 graphic driver i810 ( for my intel graphic 855GM card onboard) Any suggestion?

I took a quick look through that script and it doesn't look like it would be a big problem unless you've set up some special stuff for you VT's as this is the script to gets that going. You might want to review that script, it looks like you could work around some of the setup issue by putting them in inittab or maybe elsewhere so that you could get the same effect without flickering. .02 A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It is setting the display properties... try to see what it is doing on the screen. You should see it says something along the lines of "Setting console fonts" or similar. It only takes about 3 seconds total, is it really that abhorrent? -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I believe this is normal behavior. In fact, it should flicker 6 times -- once for each VT -- I believe. But in kubuntu, of course with gui booting,I didn't see any flickering.

I am running debian etch. While booting, when configuring consle fonts line comes, screen flickers. Any solution to stop this? -- L.V.Gandhi http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/ linux user No.205042
