Re: [gentoo-user] LCD flickers with XFree 4.3

2003-06-15 Thread Lincoln A. Baxter
Well, in answer to my own post:

I edited the Monitor section of the XF86Config for this monitor,
to more acurately reflect the H/V scan rates per the spec for the
monitor. and presto... no more flicker.

It must of been that the older version of X was less sensitive to these
configurations?

Thanks, I hope this helps someone else.

[gentoo-user] LCD flickers with XFree 4.3

2003-06-15 Thread Lincoln A. Baxter
This weekend I upgraded to XFree86 (4.3) (the latest unmasked in
portage).  I have a Matrox 450 dual head video card: Screen0 is a 17"
CRT, and Screen1 is a generic 15" LCD display.  

After the upgrade, the LCD display (which used to be a pleasure to use),
now flickers horribly. Its like all the pixels a jumping around
constantly.

Does anyone have any ideas for how get my LCD monitor (which was rock
steady in 4.2) to stop flickering?  Could this have to do with "anti
aliased" fonts that we have been hearing so much about?

Thanks.

Lincoln
