Just a quick update note re: the Westinghouse
monitor. Flickering
occurred in three vertical bands that would make the hashing in an xterm
slider appear to be shimmering, an annoying effect that I thought
warranted taking the unit back to Best Buy. But first I decided to try a
few fixes, and while fooling around with the monitor controls I came
across an Auto Adjust that eliminated the flicker entirely.
My machines are all dual boot. I often find that when switching the
other other OS that running the Auto Adjust helps with lots of little
problems.
I have run into the exact xterm slider artifact as Dave. I found that
the auto adjust gave me varying results, until I ran it in conjunction
with a program that I got with one of my monitors along the line that
displays a fine grid. Apparently what the monitor displays at the time
you run the auto adjust makes a huge difference in the result.
Googling for AutoPattern.exe will lead you to a few locations this file
can be found. It's a Windoze executable but has always run fine for me
under WINE.
