Re: fixed thinkpad screen flicker?
Hi Matt,
Sorry for posting so late, but it took me so long to have enough time
to put potato on my Thinkpad (moving from SuSE 6.4Eval - or is it
evil? ;-)

Well, It helped. As far as i can see, the line "BlankTime 0" was enough to
fix the screenflicker on my Thinkpad 755c.
My XF86Config now looks on my Thinkpad 755c like this:
It was created using XF86Setup, HorizSync 27-79 & VertRefresh 55-90
were entered manually. It works fine with the internal display - i
did not use an external Monitor until now.
Ahem - Disclaimer: NO WARRANTY from me for this. Be careful!

internal TFT-Display?
