Hi,

Since I changed to an ATI Radeon 9200, I have a
strange effect on my screen.

Especially white areas get a sort of a vertical shadow
to the right.

I have it on all resolutions and refresh rates. I already
did all the possible upgrades to the drivers.

Has anybody experienced this problem before?

Can it be that it is related to my powersupply?

Have you played with the horizontal control to see whether the new driver
has moved and wrapped your screen too far one way (ie the right)?

Is this an ATI-branded 9200 or some other brand? What type of monitor? Are
you using a good quality video cable? Are you sure it happens at 60hz?

Are you talking about a very faint shadow right at the edge of the screen?

I found this with certain driver version on my voodoo - it looks like they
adjusted the modelines between versions, so every time I updated, I had to
implant the modelines from the old driver .inf into the new or create a .reg
from the old settings so that I could overwrite the new ones in the
registry.

I think powerstrip might be able to help out if thats the case.

I had the same problem.

I have a iiyama vision master pro 454, lovely screen, no problems with
previous cards.

When I got my 9700Pro I spent ages setting everything up to take full
advantage of the new card and ended up with the problem you describe, it
being particularly noticeable in white on black. After playing for hours
with the card setting it turned out to require nothing more than letting my
screen reset itself to all it's defaults on the OSM.

Hi,

The monitor is a DELL1226H
The card is ATI branded

I have it on all resolutions and frequencies, even @60Hz.

The video cable is the one coming out of the monitor ;)

No, I don't really know what combinations are supposed
to get rid of these vertical shadow lines.
