First you say get rid of mode lines then you say to generate some using cvt. To be clear 1280x1024 is what I want to use, and what I was using with the old via chipset. The problem is that there is horrible flickering (with parts of the screen that shouldn't be there being interleaved in )that makes the screen unusable at that resolution and I have to use 1280x800, and with that the bottom of my kde bar is cut off. Getting rid of the modelines didn't seem to help anything.
I have discovered that I can use the vesa driver at 1152x864 with no flickering and see the whole screen, so that is what I am using for now. I tried openchrome at 1152x864 but still got the flickering, as I did with vesa at 1280x1024 _______________________________________________ openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.openchrome.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://wiki.openchrome.org User Forum: http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1
