Hi Doc,
 
Thanks for the info.
I think I could take off the first posibility because it was working fine before with higher resolution 4 weeks ago. But after I rebooted the machine went to lower resolution (1024x768) and started flickering. So the KVM might not be the problem.
 
I will try to use the gft command. I am assuming that this command can run in any terminal right?
And also which are the two lines to be copy?
Are they :
1280x1024 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.60 kHz; pclk: 108.88 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025


Or
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025
1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync

 
Thanks Doc,
Triadi

Hey Triadi,

The second line is wrapped in the output above.

Try stretching your terminal window wider first, then run the command.  You will only get two lines in the terminal.  Use them both, with the edit suggested, and that might work.
