I have a PS/2 Model 77, 9577-0NA with OS/2 Preload and an NEC 4FG Monitor being driven by an XGA-2 video card. My problem is that the screen flickers like crazy! Does anybody have a good video driver that will get rid of the flicker at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600? Please send all responses via e-mail. __ >....

You have to set up your XGASETUP.PRO file properly. Use DIFINST on the XGA-2 drivers disk. There's about 25 different video-modes to choose betveen. The XGASETUP.PRO file is located in directory XGA$DMQS. After having choosen the mode you want, you can go to OS/2 Setup -> Screen and select the reso- lution you want upon next bootup. If you're using 2.1b you should also be able to choose the video-mode from OS/2 Setup -> Screen. Email me, if you're having problems... Christian -- M.

NEC 4FG is a Multisynch monitor, right ? This means that it will support
XGA's noninterlaced modes.
XGA-2 can be run in interlaced and non-interlaced mode.
To enable XGA-2's non-interlaced mode, certain pins in the connector has to be
connected together.
Your problem is probably that you're running your XGA-2 in interlaced mode!
Solution: #1 Get a suitable video cable with an XGA-2 plug that has *all* the
pins required (and connected) for non-interlaced mode operation.
#2 If 1) doesn't help - have your monitor serviced!
I assume you're using the drivers shipped with your XGA-2 video card (or maybe
the ones that are on your system's reference disk).
