Monitor graphics problems

LavaDevil94 · 10-20-2004, 08:41 PM

I recently upgraded my X server to Xorg 6.8.0, and with this upgrade I have noticed something odd: Whenever there's alot of white on the screen, like covering the whole screen, the picture on my monitor starts to wiggle and wave. I have degaussed the monitor and made sure that no electronics that would generate a magnetic field were nearby, but they don't have any effect on the problem. I'm using a MAG Innovision 986FS at 1600x1200.

You probably need to explicedly declare the monitor's Horiz and Vert, its probably over range. Check in the Monitor section of xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-90
EndSection

You'll have to look up the settings for yours.

Cheers,

Already have done, the ranges are on spec for the top ranges, but the bottom ones are a little too high, so I think I'll just set those. Sorry for not mentioning earlier.

You can page through all the muck that's in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see for yourself what it settled on, then hem it up or down from there... lotta muck though.
