I recently posted about this problem over in 
debian, but, in the process of trying to fix it my husband decided we should try FC7, so I'm going to post here too.
I have a new computer. It's an Acer Aspire L310, I have an LCD monitor, the video card is an nVidia geForce 6150 LE and I'm currently using the nvidia driver (though it also happened when using vesa). The problem is I have a very slight flickering on the monitor when I have things running. It doesn't really happen when nothing is running, but if something memory/processor intensive is going on, it does it a good bit. It's not a real flicker (like screen-black-screen), but on the dark grey background I can see slightly different shades of grey lines moving around. Question is, is this fixable and how, or better yet, is this even really a problem (my husband is convinced that it will eventually kill the monitor).
Any ideas?
ETA: Now I'm also discovering that even though I've installed flash player 9 (from adobe) and java (from sun), the browser (Firefox 2.0.0.8) isn't recognizing that either is installed.
