Flickering screen

Hello, I am trying to install debian on my girlfriend's computer (Asus Z96H, IDK specification because computer guy stole box of the laptop :/). After installation all I got was flickering screen... I was trying to config Xorg.conf, there was no conf file. So I did:

Code:
Xorg -configure
I found that there was no HorizSync and VertRefresh so I added these lines

It now looks something like:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName      "Monitor Mode1"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
EndSection

After I ran
Code:
startx
Screen no more flickers, but just stays plain black. What should I do?

You should remove those lines, start X, and show us the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that is generated.

I don't really know if they are correct, plus I have no idea how to check.

I add Xorg.conf settings:
Code:

	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

Put the serial number in here and find out which model it is, download the manual and see if there is anything relevant in there:

Oh, SIS, there is your problem. The drivers for SIS chipsets are really bad, even Windows drivers for SIS chipsets suck. When I had an Acer with that chipset I used Vesa, since the SIS drivers weren't going to give me hardware acceleration anyway.

So, basically you're saying that the solution to this problem is installing Window$ ? Whatever you say, I don't buy it.

Honestly, with an SiS chipset, there isn't much else you can do. I chose to buy another laptop and sell off the SiS powered one.

I agree that sis is a terrible video chipset with terrible drivers, and you're probably right. Still, I think that the flickering may be due to a misconfiguration.

is it possible to nix the {solved} keyword?
Frustration builds as I'm looking for answers to problems configuring my linux box. I want to be resourceful and not bother folks, but then I come across threads like this with no solution, even though the title says it is [SOLVED]. Is it possible to remove that from this thread, since there is no solution presented?

Thanks,
fabyouless

Smile Ditto....will somebody remove the "solved" from this thread?
We have an old emachines laptop here and upon the very first screen we get erratic screen flickering with a stalled install (on the first of 9 disks)....the install fails here for this particular machine.

Prior to the reading of this thread we did a netinstall (pretty neat); it got much farther as I was able to give username, password, etc. but the whole process stops at 1%

we tried changing memory, processor, replaced a suspect capacitor, tried a pci vid card, clicked our heels, crossed our toes, ad infinitum and nauseaum....

Sure would like to see this thread go a tad further but if the answer is windows....well, we have a bunch of that antique furniture around here so I won't be waiting for this thread but thought I'd put my two-cents in about fabyouless 's request to continue the thread.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN I WOULD EVER ADVISE ANYONE TO DONATE FUNDS TO A MICROSOFT PRODUCT (OR ANY CONGLOMERATE PROFITEERING CORPORATION).....WE LOVE LINUX HERE! In all my 50+ years of existence on this planet this is the only foundation I ever donated to. You guys rock!
