Video display is "wavy" at 85 Hz

[jasimon9]

It was requested by Diver at ​http://haiku-os.org/community/forum/video_display_wavy_85hz that I should open this ticket.

I am very new to Haiku. I have now installed the 44220 build and notice a great deal of "waviness" on the video. I would think the power supply in the monitor is going bad, except that under Windows XP no such problem occurs. Or at least it is hardly noticeable.

Hardware ASUS P5G4IC-M Motherboard VGA on Motherboard, Intel G41 Express Intel e7500 chip

I had the refresh rate at 85Hz (which is my normal setting for Windows), and on a whim decided to lower it. I changed it to 75Hz and the waviness went away. This is a an acceptable workaround for the time being, but it seems to point out a weakness in the video drivers, imho.

I am attaching both the current syslog and syslog.old, as the older log applies more closely to the time when the problem occurred.

Hi, The syslog you provided is from an old version of Haiku, where the intel driver did not have much tracing enabled by default. Could you check if there is still a problem, and if so, provide a new syslog?
