MX Linux Forum

Just a bit of an update. The MX Desktop is still bothering my eyes a bit, and that is with using two different monitors so I think I'll reformat. I think the game ended up screwing something up that is affecting both the nouveau drivers and nvidia drivers. Reinstalling the Nvidia drivers still ...

I've started trying an old monitor that I had lying around and it seems a lot better but still makes me feel slightly dizzy / off. It is like my eyes have trouble focusing on it. I visited my friend for a bit and used his laptop, and on my Lubuntu laptop I have no problems. What could be different ...

I tested it on a laptop with Windows 10 and it seemed to bother my eyes. Flux did seem to help a bit. I'm going to let my eyes rest and test again later. The great thing about that test is that I'm using HDMI instead of DVI so that helps to eliminate if it is a problem with the cable. I did do the ...

Could uniformity issues be what is messing with my eyes? I took a break from it for a few days and right away when I tried it I had problems. Also before I took a break from it I tested it with the USB drive installer and noticed problems. I tried this monitor test and I noticed that uniformity ...

its unlikely an external monitor has a direct backlight control that MX can use. Not impossible, but unlikely. there are probably controls built into the monitor. that is what I would use. I did go through all the controls I could find on the monitor itself and all it will really let me adjust is ...

Thank you so much for all of this great advice. I'm testing as many things as I can, including resolutions and refresh rates, thank you CharlesV for that. I was hoping to test the monitor with this laptop using HDMI but sadly I couldn't figure out how to get it to pick up the display on Lubuntu ...

CharlesV Thank you for all that info!! I did the display bit and it still seems about the same. At least though with the nouveau drivers it doesn't actually hurt my eyes like crazy which was the problem I had before with the nvidia drivers. I wish I could explain it but for whatever reason it is ...

Is there a way to reset my nouveau drivers or at least the settings? I was playing the game (Don't Starve Together) that had caused me problems with my nvidia drivers and it was working great with the nouveau drivers but while playing there was a power failure and ever since the monitor has been ...

Wow thank you artytux for checking your settings with mine! And so you had "Line Interaction None" too? I'll post the daemon event log below. And also try booting up from the battery, I love that idea! When I was testing by pulling the plug with the monitor off I did only wait a minute or so but it ...

When I tested distros about a year ago I had on my list to try MX and Mint. I tried MX first and didn't want to leave it to install Mint but it is what I had agreed with myself to do. I was supposed to stick with Mint for a week but I just couldn't help but miss MX and it felt like it was just ...
