Hello world! After over 4 years of using Ubuntu, I'm going to do my first post:
My external monitor (1920x1080 LCD) is plugged into the VGA port of my laptop (LVDS-0) and the external monitor (VGA-0) has horizontal lines rippling as if it is out of phase.
I can affect the "rippling" by adjusting the Phase setting on the monitor. Phase all the way up ALMOST fixes the rippling, but it also makes the display blurry.
My netbook treats this monitor fine, no "rippling".
I've tried every set of drivers I could find.
(From NVIDIA X Server Settings)
Dimensions: 3200x1080 pixels (847x286 millimeters)
Resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Depth: 24
GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M (GPU 0)
LPL LP154WX4-TLC8 (DFP-0),
HannStar Display Corp iH254D (CRT-0)
64bit Xubuntu Precise
No xorg.conf
If I turn off the laptop's monitor using: $desper -S The "rippling" lessens to almost unnoticeable until I move the mouse or type and then it's more like soft "waves" and less of a jarring "rippling".
