At work I have a 21" on FreeBSD and 19" on Sparc and I have to keep them at least 3 feet a part or else the screen on one (or both) start to "jiggle" (shake). While we are talking monitors. An odd problem I run into with my BSD machine. It is a Dell PII 266 with Matrox Millennium II AGP card. It is connected to the 21" Gateway Vivitron monitor. When I run 4.1 AccelX, I get a little yellow spot (about 2x2 inches) in the top left corner. Don't think it is AccelX since even though it is hard to see in the normal tty, the yellow cloud is still there. I'll try using vidcontrol next time to be sure. I tried changing the monitor withe same one -- still there. I tried changing the monitor cable -- still there. I switched from normal DB cable to BNC type connector -- still there. Could it be the card?!?
