Searching around the ‘net and reading various posts, FAQs and online manuals, I still have a flickery screen … No matter what I do, I no longer have an option to change the refresh rate in the desktop applications (KDE or gnome) … I can get them to run at 1280×1024 utilizing the full screen by using a “Modeline” in the xorg.conf, but the refresh rate now defaults to 85Hz … I doubt it’s actually doing this, but there is no option to change it regardless of the resolution … I think it’s about time to post somewhere with my trials and tribulations and see if there’s a guru out there that know the short and simple answer … I know it’s probably one of those questions that just sits there cause it probably happens a lot … If I don’t use the Modeline I get a 1600×1200 screen at 75Hz … If I select any other resolution, it just becomes smaller on the screen without using the whole screen … Bah! This is one of the reasons I was thinking about buying a FP LCD screen … No flicker … My iMac and 17″ laptop look fine … Oh, and I installed some TTF fonts so this web sites looks right using the Georgia font on the FreeBSD Firefox browser …
