blinking display

[Guest]

Hi
have just installed Kubuntu 8.10, and have some problems with the display.
It is blinking about every sixth second. It shows in the lower half of the display.
I am using a laptop.
I did not have this problem when I used 8.04.

I see on the settings that they are 60Mhz, which are correct.

What kind of program or commands could I use to make it better.

Re: blinking display

Did you download all the software updates after installation? I'd do that if you haven't. There are a bunch. Including new binary drivers for NVIDIA (at least, for sure in teh proposed-updates repository, available in Adept). What graphics card does the laptop have?

Something you may wanna try is System Settings -> Display, play a bit with the settings. There is also an option to reconfigure X (the display)

HTH!

Re: blinking display

Try this - this will disable the R&R monitor (which is basically for detecting 2nd monitors I think).

K > System Settings > Advanced > Service Manager > Startup Services

I stopped Detecting RANDR (monitor) changes, and it seems to help so far.
Thanks.
