Is there some one outthere having installed Linux on SONY VAIO VGN CS-36MJ.
And using it fine. . .
I got my monitor flickering at the bottom(horizontal line changing pink&green colour)after installing openSUSE 11.2.
I** ignored it initially**, now the entire screen is flickering in green,pink and blue with
lines.
I’m sure its some thing to do with hardware compactability.(Wrong drivers to support hardware or something).Did someone tested linux on this exact machine.If so please give the distro name..
NB:It flickers when i switched to Windows Vista/7(multi boot).But disappears after using it for 20-30 mins. http://www.qatardeals.com/wp-content/uploads/classipress/343762406.jpg
Hi there - was your laptop hardware [monitor screen] working fine prior to any install of linux/windows…?
Was this on your own machine → “NB:It flickers when i switched to Windows Vista/7(multi boot). But disappears after using it for 20-30 mins.”
because it sounds suspect of hardware and not software/driver related. If you had a properly installed version of windows vista/7, and its still not displaying properly - more then likely its hardware… not software.
I am not sure if the Original Poster is still looking for solution, however I have found out that Sony is giving extended support on models where there is a changing colour/flickering issue.
Please arrange a repair collection with Sony on this. Here is the link the support guy sent me.
