No, I am not using any type of KVM. > Also make sure the monitor cable is fasted properly and not tangled around > a power cord. What you are describing sounds like electrical interference > problems. I agree, it looks like it...I have a small hole in the back of my table, where main power, monitor and keyboard cables go to the PC, sitting on the floor under the table. This is not new, and have been like this for the last 2 years. > > If it's not one of those, did this card ever work properly? > It might be a bad card. This machine, card and monitor, is now 15 months old, and have been sitting on the exact same location all the time...Everything was just perfect, until I did a massive upgrade some 2-3 months ago (OS upgrade, re-install of all ports). At that time I got busy with other things, and left it there, as I was able to perform basic tasks, like read emails etc.... So yes, everything used to be perfect. I have double-checked power cables, with no luck. Just in case, I will re-lay the cables tomorrow. > > > Mark. > -- (-: Hiroshima 45, Tsjernobyl 86, Windows 95 :-) Rune Mossige Tlf(Privat): (+47) 51 42 47 71 Brekkeveien 19 Tlf(Work): (+47) 51 94 68 69 N-4353 Klepp Stasjon Mobil: (+47) 908 71 024 NORWAY _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
