Hello,

I have Redhat 7.1 beta installed and its all working fine. It has XFree86 4.02 installed also. Well, my problem is that I

have my videocard (Voodoo 4 4500 PCI) all setup along with my monitor (Dell E550) and im in 1024x768 but it flickers.

You can notice it if you look at an icon or the edge of a Window. The screen is also darker then normal. I then can go in

xvidtune and set my hsync to: 48.44 and my vsync to: 60.09 then click "Apply" and everything is perfect, no flicker, the

screen is normal brightness! But then when I log out of X and log back in the flicker is there again and if I rerun xvidtune

it says "hsync: 48.36" and "vsync: 60.00". How come the values i changed them to werent saved? My monitors

horizontal scan range is: 31 kHz - 54 kHz and vertical scan range is: 50 Hz - 120 Hz. I should also note that when I run

Xconfigurator it detects my monitor but it detects my horazontal scan range as: 30 kHz - 54 kHz but I know for a fact

from the monitors documentation that it is 31 kHz - 54 kHz. So does anyone know how I can fix this and stop the

flickering using the settings I put in xvidtune permanently? Thank you. :confused: :(

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
is the file you're looking for, edit the monitor section and start/restart X.

Please just post your question once in the appropriate forum and not 3 times.

I gave you a suggestion in one of your others.
