This includes the words: This setting corrects for the shimmering that some Trinitron / Diamondtron tube monitors experience with the Radeon. It slightly modifies the horizontal frequency/slows the edge rates to correct for inconsistencies in system configuration and varying monitor timings. If I understand it correctly, you might be able to do a similar tweak with xvidtune (the "narrower" button in particular). As with all modeline modifications, please be careful, and try not to destry your monitor. If anyone can figure out what modeline Windows uses with this tweak, I'm sure others would be interested, although I'm not sure that they could be included in XFree86, since modelines are not usually a driver issue. -- Dr. Andrew C.
