??? Mysterious recurring problem with X video...
Hey there everybody,
I've decided to try and figure out a problem (with y'alls help!) that
has bugged me since the days of Bo - setting up my X video. I've tried
reading all of the documentation, but to no avail. Here's my situation:
At 8 bpp, I have no problems (except the normal lame-looking color
dithering)...
At 16 bpp and higher, everything looks good EXCEPT for a thin (roughly
1/2") vertical stripe of the screen (about 3" from the left side, going
from top to bottom) that kind of "shimmers" whenever letters or pictures
are positioned immediately over it (it can't be seen against a "normal"
background....)
Here is some crucial setup info:
Sceptre P73 17" monitor
from the manual:
Horizontal: 30-70
Vertical: 50-120
Video bandwidth: 100MHz
Max resolution: 1280x1024
I found a webpage with some info about this monitor...
it says Horizontal of 24-66 - I put this in the config file and it seems
to work a LITTLE better)
it also says video bandwidth is 110MHz
it also says max resolution is 1280x1024 @ 60Hz, and max flicker-free is
1024x768 @ 76 Hz
