Date: 4 Mar 1997 21:15:29 GMT Organization: Southern Illinois University - Carbondale Lines: 8 Message-ID: <5fi3dh$7hc@saluki-news.it.siu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: dutton4.it.siu.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.8 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:36565 I have been running X11R6.1 (XFree86) for some time now, and lately, the screen has begun to wave (on a Gateway-2000, Vivtron 1572 monitor). I used Xvidtune to see if changing mode sizes would help, and while it did slow the wave down in a couple of the modes, it hasn't emlimnted the wave altogether. There isn't any magnetic source near the monitor. How bad of an indicator is this wave, and what else should be done about it?
