I just read through that thread. It looks similar but I'm not too sure. The reports there were of the whole display blanking for a (short) while. Mine doesn't go blank. Instead a portion of it jitters rapidly sideways, then recovers (all under 0.1 seconds). Seen out of the corner of the eye, it looks like a flash. But it seems similar to those reports in that sync timings are a likely culprit. I'll either wait for a new driver to make it into Debian unstable, or compile 2.5.1 + patch myself. Is it reasonable to try the version in 'experimental'? That seems like it would be a big change to the xorg file or package layout, so I was a bit worried about using those packages. By the way, I just saw the same flash now running 2.6.27.4, so the problem is not a kernel problem (or not only a kernel problem). I wonder why I didn't notice it before though. -Sanjoy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
