NVidia GeForce 256 AGP card, w/ Dell 1701FP display. When using the analogue (VGA D-sub) connector between card and monitor, X display is very good. X display is also good with the digital (DVI-D) connector when _installing_ (i.e. frame-buffer is fine). Problem: Using GeForce XFree86 v4.x driver with digital cable results in flickering unusable input. Trying to "Auto Adjust" on the monitor does not make any difference.... 1280x1024 @ 75Hz fails (this is normally fine on this monitor). The seperate option for Dell 1701FP Digital in Xconfigurator does not seem to make any difference. Am happy to test patches. I will attach output of pci info and X messages.

Hmm. Unfortunately.. Any Nvidia bugs we are basically reliant on nvidia fixing themselves right now. Mark Vojcovich is now working there, so some progress has been made, but I believe you're already using this stuff in 402a. ;o( There isn't much I can do currently for Gold, however whenever nvidia patches hit XFree CVS, I'll revisit all open nvidia bugs. Prying fixes out of the community is impossible. ;o( Hold tight and cross your fingers. ;o) Normally, I wouldn't recommend this but.. Have you tried the proprietary nvidia drivers? It wont be open source so that sucks, but if it works for you, it'll hold over hopefully until something better can be done. Let me know how you fare with it.
David, is this problem still present in Enigma?
