[Mactel-linux-users] external monitor flickering

[daniel g. s. <dgs...@gm...>]

hello!

i recently bought an external 22" LCD monitor, which is connected to my
macbook2,1 by using DVI. 

when i try to switch off the display on the macbook, either by using
some graphical tools (e.g. the gnome one) or by using

xrandr --output LVDS --off

the external monitor starts to flicker. you can see this effect on this
youtube video [1].

does anyone of you have experienced the same issue or can give me some
tips how to resolve it?

thanks a lot!

best regards,

daniel
