When I type in, for instance, this window (gmail in firefox) the
screen flickers with each keystroke.  Also, if I'm in the terminal
window, for gnome, and type, same thing.

Perhaps flicker is a bad description.  To the nake eye a series of
horizontal lines flash, about one or two per key stroke.  The system
monitor isn't showing anything out of the ordinary, low CPU usage and
low memory

The above is from a previous post of mine:
<http://groups.google.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/msg/31336ef727b22073?dmode=source&utoken=t6ngLjEAAADgVNdyRavuKa2V505nGbPuV3QnxBqx2e1jEjgH7dFcK5_zTxGrO5GRFEj5DVDsfvcseCNLU2VYqhaMAnd-zwUR>

Now,

'Copying over xorg.conf

Let us copy over the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf now, so we
won't have to continuously run X -config -- typing just X or startx is
far more easy :)

Code Listing 3.6: Copying over xorg.conf

# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml>

Which is all well and good :)

I'm presently downloading knoppix, which has always run correctly.

Can I copy the xorg.conf file from knoppix to /root/xorg.conf.new and
then run X windows (as a test) using the configuration which was done
from knoppix?

(IIRC the gentoo live CD didn't have this problem, but I might not
have noticed.  If there's a problem with using the knoppix config I'll
try with the live cd...)


thanks,

The wiki mentions knoppix in relation to xorg.conf, but I don't follow
what's happening in the knoppix configuration.

The xorg.conf on the hard drive, generated by gentoo, is being moved
so that knoppix can use it?

The Gentoo live CD also has this problem.  However, it did seem to
correctly identify my video card (SiS).

The knoppix CD seems to work fine, I'm in firefox, typing away at
gmail, with no lines/static on the screen :)

This is akin to "there's a noise in the car..." which is never present
for the mechanic.

Here's the knoppix xorg.config file, which seems to work:

So, can't just replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf from gentoo with the knoppix
version :(

"AFAIK this will work fine, but I have never tried it.  You could copy
it to some other name, like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.knoppix, and then use
"X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.knoppix" to test it.  Also watch out for
ModulePath; you may have to remove or fix it if it shows up in the
Knoppix config file.  It should point to /usr/lib/xorg/modules."

from <http://hawat.thufir.googlepages.com/xorg.conf.knoppix.txt>
a few lines:

    15	Section "Files"
    16		RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    17		ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

so that, at least, seems ok.

I'm operating under the assumption that it's a problem with xorg.conf,
of course.

The knoppix version isn't working due to something with RGB.

It's just a matter of commenting out things which cause problems?  I'm
assuming there's a rainbow at the end :)

Hrm, I assumed you were using the current version of x.org.  I am
betting that Knoppix is using xorg 7.0 (aka, modular X), so no, you
will not be able to use the configuration file directly without fixing
the various paths in it.  But even then, you might find that Knoppix
works better simply because it is using a current version of x.org,
and not related to the configuration at all.

So I suggest to upgrade to modular X first.  The guide can be found here:

I'm not disputing that upgrading will fix the problem, but it
shouldn't be required in the first place.  For over a year I ran
fedora (and windows) without this problem, and have tried Knoppix and
Gnoppix.  Only gentoo presents this problem.  From the get go I ran
Knoppix, also, which, presumably, might not've been the latest and
greatest.  That is, Fedora 1, FC1, never had a problem with this
monitor/video card/whichever.

However, thank you for the link, I'll make the upgrade and cross my fingers :)
