The games that were flickering and/or had bar moving up vertically still
did that. I set those games (well, most - glQuake has no setting for
that) to 1280x1024 resolution, problem solved! I only did that for games
that had this problem, many others never had any problem to begin with.
I still have no idea why this just started up today, maybe I just never
noticed it before? I don't really know. I swear computers are haunted....

I had flicker on my Dell E520 with a 19" LCD. The flicker I had was only
when the game started or when I played a video. Setting 60Hz and resolution
to 1280x1024 didn't work for me. Out of frustration I stumbled on a
solution/workaround. I changed the connection from DVI to the VGA
connection. Now no more flicker.

Oh, also I have an ATI X1350 video card which has given me nothing but
headaches.


I just installed openSUSE 10.3, works great with my Epson Stylus Photo
260 printer, unlike 10.2. Similar video problem, but setting VertRefresh
to 60Hz fixed the flicker. The other problem I was having was faint
lines moving up the screen. My T.V. does it, too, when switching
channels - you can see it just before the new channel appears. Must be
something in the power lines, or some such interference.

For example the devs may have one texture that is of a particularly high resolution for a specific reason, for example, the resolution of a face texture in a cut scene where other factors will not be loading the CPU/GPU. ... You can tweak them yes but they will generally still be of a far lower resolution than the display is capable of. ...
