Sorry if its an old question!
Got an old Geforce 2 GTS and every now and then it goes into a wierd
gamma/brightness stepping thing, one minute its bright next dimmer, next brighter... etc and then it settles I was wondering, is it 1. BB's new toy virus remote control mindf&*^ device 2. A bug in card/software or dodgy card 3. something it actually should do??? 4. something else using linux at the mo, but it was same with win me, so if its BB's toy reckon its firmware been reprogged... |

How do you know it's not the monitor? That seems more likely to me.. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ |

That will take a while to test its not predictable in any way, I have another PC on the same monitor dual input, pretty sure that its the card as the other doesnt do it (I think) and this is a replacement iiyama monitor (last one broke) and it was happening on the last one (still doesnt rule it out) but let me Quadruple check.... Is it a feature on monitors then? auto degauss or something? |

Monitor cables tend to be the weak link in my experience, be they thin ones (like for projectors) or big thick ones. HTH Neil. -- Neil J Bundy |

IT used to be a hobby of mine, now it's more of a chore because as well
as Finance I'm responsible for IT at work. How life's subtle experiences can change one's outlook lol. Nah - it's easy to miss that one. Only thought of it 'cos a thick monitor cable went dodgy 3 weeks ago and a projector cable went the same way a couple of months back. Often happens when monitors are near walls and desks get shoved back... Good luck. In message , Cookie_Monster writes On Tue, 13 Sep 2005 00:31:07 +0100, Neil J Bundy wrote: Swap the cables over.
