Dearest Netters,
I've include a copy of my XF86Config file. My problem is that I have
a very slight flicker on the screen. It's most noticable in the upper
left-hand and lower right-hand corners. I'm probably not setting
things up properly, but I've looked through the XFree documentation and
this is as far as I can go right now. Any Ideas?
Many Thanks.
