Hi...

With x11-base/xorg-server updates, I now notice the following information:
Code:
* Users of reduced blanking now need:
 *    Option "ReducedBlanking"
 * In the relevant Monitor section(s).
 * Make sure your reduced blanking modelines are safe!

 

How can I determine if I should be using ReducedBlanking?

Thanks!

Gruenwald,

Wide screen LCD displays may require it. CRT monitors never will.

If your system works properly without it, you don't need it.
