Hi all,
I've just upgraded my workstation from RH7.2 to 7.3 and apart from big
headaches doing the install, and the fact that the icons on the kickpanel
stopped working* I like the new version.
However, I've got a problem with X. Since upgrading I've got a flickering
screen. Whenever the screen is being updated - e.g. while I'm typing this -
I get flickers appearing all over the screen. The best way I can describe it
is like watching TV with a poor signal and white noise appearing.
I'm using a S3 Virge DX card and a proview monitor and everything worked fine
befure the upgrade. As part of the upgrade, Xconfigure was run but
everything looks fine. Below is the current XFConfig-4 file.
* KDE 2 neither needed nor set the exec bit but KDE needs it set before it
will run the app.
