If you check the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log you might see something like this: (II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 150 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 95 kHz, (WW) RADEON(0): config file vrefresh range 47-150Hz not within DDC vrefresh ranges. (II) RADEON(0): monitor1: Using hsync range of 30.00-95.00 kHz (II) RADEON(0): monitor1: Using vrefresh range of 47.00-150.00 Hz I have never experienced the problems you are having even when my settings are wrong but I thought this might be something to check. If you see something like this you might want to change the value(s) in the monitor section of XF86Config-4 for HorizSync or VertRefresh. Only the root user can edit your config-4 file (use the SU command from the command line before editing it or, in KDE you can type alt-f2, click options then choose run as another user (root) and specify your root password before running an editor (ie.Gedit, kate, etc) Hope this helps. Joe.
