Hi,
I've had similar to this before...
sometimes it power. You might try to plug them into the power in a
different way.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice?
I'm running Kubuntu 6.06 on a Hyperthreaded 3Ghz P4 with 1.5G RAM.
I have to 17" Philips monitors (107T5 - primary - and a 107S6 -
secondary) running off a 128Mb Nvidia FX5500 dual-head card.
At times (e.g.. when I open mail from Thunderbird) I get a slight
flicker on the second monitor and similar on the primary monitor.
I've tried various refresh frequencies, but to no avail.
I've posted (below) my xorg.conf in case anyone has any suggestions or
can see something that I can't (highly likely :)).
NB. I modified xorg.conf to show only 1024x768 as dual-display it
wouldn't play nice otherwise.
Thanks for any assistance or advice offered.
Regards,
Patrick
