My desktop computer (Lucid, x86_64, up to date) uses the nVidia 6150 on the motherboard. The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 206BW LCD display, roughly three years old, maybe four. I am using the proprietary nVidia driver.
The monitor has always worked fine, but a couple of days ago upon restoring from the screensaver in the morning the monitor flashed on and off for 10-20 times before finally displaying the screen. The day before it worked fine. Every time I try to restore from the screensaver now I get the same flashing. The flashing is not completely regular; the screen flashes the display for a quarter of a second every two to four seconds. Today I needed to reboot the computer for the first time since this started. When the login screen tried to display I got the same flashing. In other words, restarting the computer did not change anything. I don't have any other monitors to substitute for testing purposes. Any troubleshooting suggestions or other observations welcome. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
