[wplug] lcd problems in xwindows

[Robert E. Coutch]

I've seen this same issue on CRT's using poorly shielded cables (especially 
those extension cables you buy aftermarket to get a few more feet away from 
the PC).

It's probably not your problem but if you are using an extension VGA cable,
try moving the monitor closer and plug it in directly to see if it makes a 
difference.


Wish I could be more helpful,

Bob
