I filed a bug report over a year ago, but my issue was different. The bug is still open, however, and many people have posted comments to it, reflecting different symptoms. In my case, using the DVI output resulted in periodic blanking of my monitor to black, It would start off slowly and increase in frequency, making the computer unusable. The fix? I switched to the VGA output, and never had any trouble since. That's why I asked. You're probably right - it sounds like you may have a different issue. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
