Hi!

I do not use clone mode, but dual-head (DVI display on the left, VGA display on the right). I actually was able to switch to the 59.9Hz modeline using "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 0x5d" (From the list that "xrandr --verbose" prints), but the flickering stays. The flickering only affects the DVI display, the VGA display stays stable all the time.

Also note that the display is not connected via HDMI, but DVI (only xrandr calls it HDMI-0, although the board has a HDMI connector, too).

Sorry for gzipping the log, I just intended to save space.

For some time, I used the fglrx driver, which does not exhibit the flickering.

I'd like to test some newer version of the driver. If I check it out and install it, it goes to /usr/local. How do I tell the X server to look there instead of /usr?

Ciao
