Basically, randomly the Monitor is flickering and its almost like someone grabs the screen and jerks it around. It's like a flicker that only happens when there is motion, you if you do motion it never seems to flicker. But it isnt constant either. Remincent of bad power.

However, the kicker, it didn't do this in XP, only in Mandriva. How can I fix this, monitor drivers or something?

The visible markings on the monitor say Philips and 107E6.

It's very irriating so help would be appreciated.

However I'm on hold till I feel like reinstalling Mandriva again. 3 times in 1 weekend is enough to warrant a break.

checked the xorg configuration?

if it's the default .conf-less that could be the problem.

I would make sure that it's using xorg.conf and that it does recognize your graphics card and monitor correctly.

I saw it on a screen somewhere, it labled it as an old SiS and it had the name of the monitor bang on.

No Graphics card btw, its SiS integrated graphics. Circa 2004.
