sorry.. i am not on the machine.. it shouldnt make a difference i hope
>Description:
Ok. The problem is that with the 2.2-ALPHA the screen flickers/wavers
at the top during system work... You know it pushes in and out, etc.
It is apparently a syscons problem that does NOT involve virtual
consoles (i turned all of em off and tried as well). The card is a S3
Trio64V+ on a 14 inch monitor
>How-To-Repeat:
Well, get an S3 Trio64v+ and a 14 inch monitor i guess.
>Fix:
The syscons in previous versions (2.1.5-RELEASE works and i am going
to try 2.1.6-RELEASE on it) email me if you wish me to share the
results of 2.1.6-RELEASE
