While searching through the archives trying to figure out why my CTX 200MhzPentium-MMX laptop was hanging during the "probing devices" stage (I still haven't figured that one out...I've tried both the 2.2.7-PAO boot floppy and 3.0-RELEASE with the same results) I came across a thread from August in this group about "flickering" LCD displays if the laptop uses a Neomagic chipset when the laptop gets warm. The assertion was made that there must be something wrong in the X Server initialization because the flicker doesn't happen in Windoze... While I can't attest to any bug in X (and didn't follow the thread any further) I can without reservation state that the flickering *DOES* happen under Windows NT when it's been on for awhile. I've been running NT Server 4.0 for about 6 months (cuz FreeBSD didn't support my LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 PCMCIA card until (at least 2.2.7-PAO) now). Please CC any replies to me as I'm not (yet) on this list :) -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions Systems Administration @denver.net/internet-coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineering 8707 E.
