Forgive me for this wild accusation. Ever since I first started using SuSE 8.0 Pro, I've been trapped in a horribly flickering 60hz display. Sax2/Yast2 detects my monitor correctly my name and model ("LG Studioworks 55V"), but the refresh/scan rates are detected incorrectly, and never twice the same. So I fix that by hand, but I'm still only getting 60hz refreshrate, even in 640x480. Even specifying a different monitor - a 19" just for kicks - didn't get any better results. Eventually I gave up and ran good old xf86config, copied the font and anti-aliasing lines from the old XF86Config file, and now everything is fine. Just thought I'd share this because I see a lot of posts about Sax2, most of them along with nVidia. Maybe Sax2 just isn't very good at configuring displays that are connected to nVidia cards? I must be very lucky, becuase I've never had any trouble with either of the four nVidia cards I have (two AGP TNT2s, one PCI TNT2, one AGP GeForce2. No problem installing and getting the drivers to work, no problem with the performance. In fact, in games like Quake3 and Wolfenstein these cards consistently perform better in linux than in windows in the same game. In Wolfenstein it's the difference between not being able to play the game and being able (celeron 500...). So maybe nVidia isn't all that bad. Yes, I agree it would be nice if they provided opensource drivers, but at least all their cards are support almost as soon as they hit the market. Oh, and by the way, I've been drooling over the ATI Radeon cards for a long time now, I'm really a fan. But when I buy that ATI card it's going to be whatever is at the top of their line. And if ATI hasn't sorted out this driver business before then, I'm going to have to use that other OS a hell of a lot more than I'd like to...
