Hi folks, I just cvsupped ports and built the new XFree86 4.2. I'm experiencing some strange behaviour after the install, however. I can't find any reference to anybody else having this problem, so I thought I'd throw it out there. The new version of X starts up fine, it seems, but I get this incredibly pronounced flickering. That is: the video image is there for a split second, only to cut out completely a moment later. The monitor makes that familiar "click" sound as when it looses sync. The duration of the on/off periods is small, but seemingly random. I do not get the same sort of thing under XF86 4.1.0... nor from a vt... nor when I connect the monitor to a BeOS box. /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows nothing out of the ordinary. I have an ATI AIW Pro (8MB) connected to this machine. I'm not sure where to start looking for a solution, really. I removed /usr/X11R6 completely, and re-installed X... nothing nothing. I disabled all extensions, all custom modelines, etc... no luck. I wiped out my /etc/XF86Config... re-ran X -configure... nothing. I even grabbed a copy of (today's) experimental ati.2 libs from GATOS, but, that had the same issue. I'm stumped. Erik. -- E. L.
