New monitor - Cursor leaves a trail!

Greetings,

I recently got a new 19" ViewSonic VG900 LCD Monitor, and I've put the coffect hsync and vsync values into my xorg.cong file. So far everything works, except when I move the mouse on the background, it leaves a visible trail.

Seeing as it's my first LCD monitor, is this normal?

If you haven't set it to make a trail (some people might consider this eye-candy), it's not normal for an LCD monitor to have a trail for the cursor. I think that your screen is not refreshing fast enough, so you might want to play with the refresh rate and see what happens.
