  • 10.4 in Lucid - Screen Flicker

    Ive always used the proprietary driver in Ubuntu.
    with the Catalyst 9.xx Drivers i had to run:
    sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandr12,FALSE" in a terminal to stop the flicker.
    With the 10.xx Drivers though this has no effect.
    Anyone any ideas how I can stop this annoying flicker?

    ps. Using the HD2400 Driver on a 1680x1050 monitor

    I would try the other connector. I had flickering only on one of em.

          Sorry i`m a bit green and never messed with the inside of my compt.
          Are you saying there are 2 connectors on my graphics card and to swap the connections over?

            Ive just checked and as far as i can see there is only one connector on my Gfx card. Could you be more specific as to what i do.
            Bear in mind though that i`m a bit of a technophobe!!

              Then take a picture. Also from the connectors of your monitor.

                There is 2 connectors for my monitor and at the back of the comp. But the plug configuration is different, so I don`t have the right lead.
                Is that what you mean?
                Would it be worth investing in a new lead?

                  Most likely you need to use a dvi cable. Usally the connector is white and has more pins than the vga one.

                    Kano.. your a star.
                    Just gone out and bought a DVI cable and problem solved.
                    Ive had this problem since I bought this system from Dell 2 years ago.
                    Should have come to this forum sooner.
                    Thanks again.
