Dearest Netters,

I've include a copy of my XF86Config file.  My problem is that I have
a very slight flicker on the screen.  It's most noticable in the upper
left-hand and lower right-hand corners.  I'm probably not setting
things up properly, but I've looked through the XFree documentation and
this is as far as I can go right now.  Any Ideas?

Many Thanks.

# and video card can support for a given resolution is automatically
# used.
