I had this exact problem with a machine at work with a SiS onboard card - inside X, the video would flicker like nobody's business whenever I typed or moved the mouse. If I did nothing, the screen was fine. My solution was to get a Matrox agp card and use that. :P (ie. I couldn't fix it.) -- Cerebral _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
