I have a nice Powerlite TurboSparc laptop, which in
general works
great. However - I've noticed that if I connect an external monitor,
there is a noticable flicker in the display when there is HD
activity.
Have you tried another monitor?
My work machine is a SPARCstation LX. When it was connected to a CRT,
all was well. Now it's on a flatscreen, and there are flickering
horizontal streaks when there is host activity. (I'm not sure whether
it's disk activity, CPU, Ethernet, or what.) I haven't cared enough to
track down exactly what is provoking it.
