I recently switched from fedora to gentoo, it's a dual boot system. |
| 2 |
Never in Fedora, not in windows, but in gentoo, I get screen |
| 3 |
flickers/static. It's not a hardware problem as just a little bit ago |
| 4 |
I was in windows, no problem. The connections to the monitor and so |
| 5 |
forth are fine. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
When I type in, for instance, this window (gmail in firefox) the |
| 8 |
screen flickers with each keystroke. Also, if I'm in the terminal |
| 9 |
window, for gnome, and type, same thing. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Perhaps flicker is a bad description. To the nake eye a series of |
| 12 |
horizontal lines flash, about one or two per key stroke. The system |
| 13 |
monitor isn't showing anything out of the ordinary, low CPU usage and |
| 14 |
low memory |
