I've got a 19" Sony SDM-HS93 running off a VisionTek GeForce3. I tend to use dark backgrounds for things and when I do I sometimes see thick white lines moving back and forth across the screen. They aren't bright white, but rather lighter than the color that is being displayed. It's almost as if they were scanlines or something. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the card or the monitor or whether it's just normal behavior of LCD monitors. If I look VERY hard i can see them at all times on dark backgrounds but sometimes they're a little brighter than others. I'm not positive that this is gentoo related but I use a KVM switch and one of my boxes runs windows and I didn't notice the lines. The relevant xorg.conf sections are as follows:
Code: |

I had to use that modeline generated by xvidtune because otherwise the picture was not centered on the monitor and I lost about a half inch of picture. That, however, was before I switched to Xorg from XFree so I'm not positive I need it anymore. It hasn't hurt though so I've seen no reason to get rid of it. Maybe my problem has something to do with the modeline? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. |

Hi,
Why are you using manual timings for your monitor? It should be EDID compatibile. Regardless, if it isn't for KVM switch, I would suggest to correct Monitor section as;
Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection |
Using nvidia driver, you have ability to control how does it drive LCD panel (option FlatPanelProperties), I am using following on my 19" Iiyama ProLite E481S;
Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "SystemDevice"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "Yes"
Option "RenderAccel" "Yes"
Option "CursorShadow" "Yes"
Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = native, Dithering = disabled"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
|
I would also suggest to read upon this option in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-*/README.gz
