I have never heard of such a problem. What resolution/depth/refresh are you running at? Perhaps this happens when there isn't sufficient memory bandwidth? Like maybe 1280x1024@85hz? It could also be a bad watermark chosen for the mode. In Linux we have to use a pixel clock based lookup to get a watermark which isn't always the best choice for the mode. Other operating systems have a specific watermark for a specific mode, but of course that only works when the driver generates the list of available timings. In the back of the PRM (Programmers reference manual) there is a list of modes and the watermarks for those modes. You might compare X's calculated watermark (It's in the log) against the recommended value in the PRM. If they are different you could replace the value in the code with the recommended value to see if your problems go away. -Matt _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
