I had a heck of a time today configuring my new Viewsonic E90B monitor in SuSE 9.1 (x86-64) with a Geforce FX 5700 video card. I entered all the various specs for the monitor to the letter in Sax2, but the display jitters at anything over 1024x768 resolution.
I was also wondering whether anyone out there has the problem of a strange horizontal, south-to-north "wave" effect on their text consoles even totally out of X?
I have all the latest updates and patches installed and have the nvidia driver installed via YOU. I'd really like to get my 1280x1024 back, although even at the lower res the jitter effect is still a little noticeable. I'm really primarily curious as to whether anyone has observed the same things on their machines. I was sure they were the result of that cheapie no-name monitor I was using before today.
The symptoms you describe don't sound like something that can be caused by software problems. Is the monitor the only thing that is new? If the cable from the video card to the monitor is new, perhaps it's poorly shielded or defective? Otherwise, it's possible that the new monitor is faulty. If there's another computer or video source to which you can connect it and the symptom persists, it's probably got a problem.
