That will sync the frame rate to the refresh rate. setting this variable I hear no more noise. so it's actually the built in LCD that can't refresh as fast as 800FPS and is therefore emitting this sound. so this is a design issue but not a hardware failure, is it? > Also, are you *sure* the noises aren't in your head? ;) I'm positive it's not in my head :) andreas _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
