Some have drivers that work well, some have drivers that work less well. You would want to figure out which adapter and, after updating to the latest Xorg for your distribution, start looking on Bugzilla and the like for that specific one. At the same time, I've not seen any behavior that I'd call "shaking" which was induced by the software. But experimenting with slower and faster refresh would be interesting to try. It seemed to me that the Intel 8215 drivers were mediocre to dismal at some lower settings, but at 1280x960/60hz it is truly a beauty to behold. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- ============================================================================ Neal Rhodes MNOP Ltd (770) 972-5430 President 4737 Habersham Ridge fax: (770) 978-4741 Lilburn (atlanta) GA 30047
