I think I tried all the possible settings with SaX. The interesting thing is the onboard video worked OK before the update to 6.0. Now, not only does it flicker but also KDE is screwed up. If I try to minimize or maximize a window, and KDE uses some sort of animation, the animation leaves traces on the screen in form of triangles. These traces stay on the screen and do not refresh. It is not that I use KDE, but you know... It does not happen in other window managers which is good. Also, before the upgrade to 6.0 (from 5.3) I was able to configure and use 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864 resolutions. Now I can only configure 1152x864. All others are somehow screwed: window will not center even with monitor controls, color palette is off, refresh rate too low ( <= 56 ), edges of the image are distorted. Still 1152x768 flickers a lot. Sax crashes every time I test a mode and use "abort" to return to SaX. I have no problems on my other machines with "normal" videocards :) thanks, -alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
