Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Help needed about display resolution
do you have an lcd or crt display? as far as I can remember most lcd monitors have 60hz refresh rates ... but since thats causing flicking for you, it could be the driver that has a bug. can you do a: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version string" from a GUI command line? In the worst case, you might have to install the latest driver from nvidia.com.

But AUTO mode selects the refresh rate as 87Hz which is not supported y my monitor.

Hi Imtiaz, Can you try leaving the refresh rate to "auto" and see if that fixes it?

Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Help needed about display resolution
I know very little about the command line linux like editing xorg.conf or something like that. I opened the xorg.conf file, but everything seems obscure to me... Anyway, I have changed the resolution by NVidia Display Settings menu which appeared after installing the proprietory driver. But the screen seems to be flickering.

Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Help needed about display resolution
Hi Imtiaz, Is 800x600 hard coded in your xorg.conf? If so, can you try commenting out the line that has the resolutions? Generally X can automatically pick up the highest supported resolution. I'm not sure about linux mint though, since i've never used it. Also, in my experience, compiling and installing the nvidia driver from nvidia.com gave me better results. It also gives you the nvidia x server settings tool which is quite handy.
