I believe that xorg.conf is still the place to override the 'handy' auto-configuration nonsense. It worked for me in the Hardy Alphas anyways. So far I haven't been terribly impressed with the auto-configuration features that were added. They give you a working display (most of the time), but it doesn't seem to use optimal settings all the time. For example, the gnome utility doesn't think my display at home is capable of any more than 1024x768. -Tom On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 10:37 AM, Charlie O <obelin23 at gmail.com> wrote: > I've got Ubuntu 8.04 running, with an Acer AL1914 monitor, and I'm having > screen flicker problems. > > I went and edited xorg.conf, and set the correct HorizSync (24-80) and > VertRefresh (49-75) values. > > However, the New Handy Gnome Screen Resolution Utility shows refresh at > 76, which is too high, and it won't let me change it there. > > Is there a new improved hidden place that value is now being set and > stored? > > Thanks, > > Charlie > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
