Re: Shaky Screen

Good advice Matt.  I didn't think of that and I'm in SUPPORT, TOO.

I have some very old speakers that have caused the old monitor by my
75Mghz 7.0 box to start changing colors. There's no degauss button on the
monitor, so I have to do it by hand. (magnet and keep trying until the
colors are right...)

What he said, plus check for any electric motors or magnetic devices close
to your monitor -- that can cause symptoms similar to what you are
experiencing as well.

If this isn't it or if it might be something else, please lemmie know.  BTW, I read the manual, but I was raised on windows so all these Linux terms....are...well...um... lets just say I feel like a Pilgrim in a strange land ;)
