This feature is turned off. I think this is not a look configuration but it might be horizontal frequency syncronization. But unfortunately the monitor is weel configured in the X server. More ideas ? :-) Joe Sullivan wrote:

I have a problem with my screen. I use KDE as my GUI and the windows appear with a shadow in all the screen.

Control Panel > Appearance & Themes > Window Decorations

There's a checkbox at the bottom named "Draw a drop shadow under windows". Make sure this is turned off.

It's interesting eye candy, but not developed well enough for regular use yet.

But connecting the same monitor with the same cable in another computer all goes well ..... Ed Harrison wrote:

Sounds like an unshielded vga cable. Are you using the one that came with it? Have you added other electronic equipment in close proximity to the monitor?

Triple shielded vga extension cables are available at cablesnmor.com for about $10US.

Replacing the cable cured my problems with shadowy text.
