I don't know if this is the "nonlinear" thing, since I don't have a clear picture in my head of exactly what the symptoms of this are. The picture on my monitor sort of jitters and twitches, so when you're looking at a word it suddenly jumps a bit. Very annoying. It makes you think that it's your eyes that are jumping around. Off the top of my head and not knowing anything about video, I would make a tentative guess that it is a power supply problem. I haven't checked it out with a scope yet since that means I would have to drag the computer in to work (I don't have the proper equipment at home). Is there anyone who has experienced this before? If so, what did it turn out to be? Thanks. - Paul (chapman@ug.cs.dal.ca)
