<p> Section "Monitor"<br>

VertRefresh 50-75<br>
# 'man xorg.conf' says you can set the pixel clock in KHz.<br>
# This is an UNTESTED example for 10-110 MHz clock:<br>
#Option "MinClock" "10000"<br>
#Option "MaxClock" "110000"<br>
EndSection</p>but no joy. Still the same flicker and I am still not seeing any options other than zero when I click on <br><br>System > Preferences > Screen resolution <br><br>Any help welcome!<br><br>thx in advance.<br>
