Inspiron 8200 + Suse + Flashing Pixels


Hey All-

Everyone has beenr eally helpful thus far so I was hoping someone could give a shot in the dark at this one...

I have an inspiron 8200 dell notebook that I just recently installed suse 9.2 on. After fighting with the ATI drivers to install for my radeon 9000 I have everything working.....EXCEPT the following

on the right side of the monitor, probably the last most row of pixels, whatever line is there seems to be doing like a flashing, or in and out or a pixel wave kinda thing....I'm not sure what's going on but its wrong and extremely annoying, its an UXGA display and I don't know why its having issues. I have tried many of the default monitor displays and yet nothing has eliminated this problem. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a fix?

Thanks for your help!

-Mark

This doent happen in vga mode? if not, I suppose its probably a fault of the ati driver. Maybe try an older version or something.
