I know horizontal black lines on the 1084 monitor can only really be cured by getting a flickerfixer card, but I was pondering if there wasn't a way to adjust the spot height (diminishing the vertical sharpness of the spot) on the 1084 monitor to acheive the same effect... Any hardware guru out there? I opened it, but I didn't find many devices to tune... -- Colas Nahaboo, colas@sa.inria.fr, Bull Research, Koala Project, GWM X11 WM Phone:(33) 93.65.77.70(.66 Fax), INRIA, B.P.109 - 06561 Valbonne Cedex, FRANCE.

Though the picture is now interlaced, it is *not* the high-res interlace that has the flicker problem. I use this all the time, and it makes for a *much* nicer display.

Better solution: turn on interlaced workbench, and choose your colours carefully. :-) Actually, the program on the Fish disk is quite huge for what it accomplishes. Seeing your message reminded me that I wrote an equivalent program which anyone who wants it can have. It's 148 bytes of executable. (I was tempted to uuencode it into this posting, but thought that might not be a good idea). Anyhow, if someone could look after making it generally available for me, I'll mail it to them.
