Try launch xvidtune from an xterm and see whether small changes can solve the problem. Usually it helps in such an intermittent case. You can also try to look at /etc/X11/XF86Config to see if there is anything suspisious. > - Windog95 has no problem in [EMAIL PROTECTED] in 16bits. Try to dig through Win95 files. Some video drivers actually have a configuration file with timings (I have such a file for my Matrox Millenium II, so I've made timings in Linux exactly the same as in Win95). Another suggestion: rename your XF86Config and run xf86config program. It usually produces somewhat different configuration. Use the best video timings of these two methods. Sergey.
