ICON and text ghost shadows

Hi For a while now all the graphics on my screen has a ghostly shadow to its right, nothing is sharp. Does anyone know if this a MESA or AMD feature? I've had this come and go quite a bit in the past and i never found out where the issue was. regards Ian -- openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250320 kwin 6.3.3 kmail2 6.3.3 (24.12.3) - akonadiserver 6.3.3 (24.12.3) - Kernel: 6.13.6-1- default - kernel-firmware-radeon 20250206

Is it a CRT monitor? ;-) Seriously though, on my monitor there are a bunch of selectable modes like Theater, Game, Reading, etc. Only a couple of them are sharp, so it seems like there is some filtering that smears the image in the other modes. That doesn't seem exactly like your problem, but it is worth checking your monitor settings. Also, wiggle the cables. -- Robert Webb
