I recently tried switching from linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r9 to |
| 2 |
linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r7. The latter is configured as |
| 3 |
indentically as possible to the former, but when I run X under |
| 4 |
the 2.6.24 kernel, one of my two displays blinks off every |
| 5 |
10-20 seconds (it's off for about 1 second, then comes back |
| 6 |
on). |

The blinking doesn't happen with the 2.6.23 kernel. |

The blinking doesn't happen in console mode. |

I'm running nvidia-drivers 169.09-r1 with a NVIDIA GPU Quadro |
| 13 |
NVS 290 (G86GL), connected via DVI to dual Samsung 204B |
| 14 |
displays running at 1600x1200. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
There's nothing in the system or X logs that conicides with the |
| 17 |
blinking. |

I'm a bit baffled as to how to troubleshoot the problem other |
| 20 |
than stick with 2.6.23 and hope that a newer kernel rev fixes |
| 21 |
things... |
