I'm not sure if I can help, as I don't quite understand what your problem is. Is your screen flickering (pulsing in and out very fast, say at 60hz) or is the brightness fading slowly in and out? Have you tried playing (carefully) with xvidtune? If your screen is flickering, have you tried reducing the resolution (lower resolutions usually have a higher refresh rate)? -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
