Thumbs up Faint horizontal rolling lines


Ok people I am looking for someone with a tad bit more knowledge and experience than I have here. I have a dual monitor setup (NOT in clone mode) and everything has been working great! But, now my big monitor has faint rolling horizontal lines through it, I haven't changed anything in my xf86config-4 file to cause this change. Could I be over driving that monitor? Any help on this would be great, my eyes get so tired looking at this. The monitor I am having the problem with is the Samsung. Here's part of my xf86config-4 file.
