This is a fantastic little program.. I do have one question My text is rather blinky on updates.. Any way to limit the blinking?

You need to enable double buffering both in conkyrc (double_buffer yes) and in xorg.conf (Load "dbe" in Section "Module")

Fantastic fix! Thanks!

It's based on one of the demo-configs on the conky-website.

hey, guys, nice Conky's, will use some of those things combined, but does anybody know how to get text within a graph, I've seen some screenies with text in them, do you have to use multiple conky's for that?

Thnx anyways, Casper
