Re: [opensuse] Screen flickers every ~30s

Hi,

I'm using 11.4 here, and the screen flickers every 30 s in KDE4. It is
possible to trigger this by stopping and starting the "Display
Management change monitor" service in KDE service manager, although
stopping the service doesn't eliminate the flicker. I should also add
that this didn't occur with factory some weeks ago.

Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know of a way to make this stop?

Regards,
Peter

I have seen this on both openSUSE 11.4 and Arch Linux. This issue started with the ~ Feb 15th Xorg updates. I have seen this primarily with nvidia hardware. I have no idea what the technical reason for it is, but the screen will be fine, the about ~ 20-40 seconds there is 1 pronounced "flicker" you can't miss, then the display looks normal for the next 20-40 secs.

I primarily see it on my dual-head box.

Are you running a nvidia chipset?
