Re: Deane's ADSl modem

IIRC you didn't succeed in changing the refresh rate.  After you left I 
changed the desktop size to 1024 x 768 (down from 1280 x 720) which brought 
the refresh rate up to 85hz.  Perhaps that is what did it.  The other issue 
is the NVidia drivers.  I think I selected to update them when I loaded the 
updates to 9.3 from the CD.

There is also the possibility that I have faulty hardware.  I was until a 
little while ago (he shamefully admits) overclocking the CPU through the FSB 
with an increase in voltage to 1.74 volts.  There may be some issues there 
now.  It is running at rated speed now.

Hopefully both platforms are stable now, but I booted into Susehalf an hour 
ago and it didn't detect my (USB) mouse.

Yes, that was certainly my intention, but I could not get past a login

the settings had changed and the boot loader was not booting into KDE -
something to do with the display settings which Volker talked me through
changing through the Yast CLI.
oops perhaps that was something I did when i was blindly looking of ways 
to change your monitor flicker rate.

pleased u got it fixed!
