Radeon Issues

[Nozomi]

I just got a new Radeon 64mb Retail card. I am running windows 2000 with service pack 1. I also installed the latest win2k VIA AGP driver, direct X 8.0, and the latest ATI win2k Radeon beta driver. The problem I am having is what I call the "jiggle of death." When I set my refresh to anything higher then 60hz the jiggling begins. It's a slight very fast jiggle, but a jiggle none the less. I'd be open to any suggestions at this point. I have a sony FD triniron 17" screen. Thanks, bye

That might be the shimmering effect? I heard that is a patch, but might only be for Win9x. That only happens for Trinitron monitors, so try another monitor and see if it goes away. If so, then you just either wait for the fix for Win2k and use the other monitor.

The following 2 settings are the only value that should generally need modification in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\Driver\xxxx\DAL] registry key. Where xxxx = the adapter "number" as specified by Windows. These registry settings should be DWORD values.
-GCOOPTION_SlowerEdge: Settings: 1 = Enabled, 0 = Disabled

This setting corrects for the shimmering that some Trinitron/Diamondtron tube monitors experience with the Radeon. It slightly modifies the horizontal frequency/slows the edge rates to correct for inconsistencies in system configuration and varying monitor timings. By default this value is set to "0", or disabled and should be fine for the majority of systems out there. If you experience shimmering in your monitor, try setting this to "1" and you should see significant improvement. You will have to reboot between changes of this setting. This option is only available in the most recent drivers, specifically drivers with a build of D7.16-xxxxx-xxxx-ATI and later. There appear to still be some issues with full screen DOS sessions, but this is supposed to be fixed with drivers coming out shortly.

also you could mess with the monitor displays, like checking horizontal and verticle synchronization.
