eliminate monitor flicker without breaking the bank?

  Hi. I've got a monitor that really has to be positioned in a certain
  corner of the room. The only problem is that the wall it's near probably
  has unshielded wiring -- whenever the monitor gets near the wall I get a
  flicker/jitter (especially in the corners).

  It's a 21" NeXT Megapixel (fixed-freq), but I've tried other monitors
  (same prob), and even borrowed a friend's $50 super-shielded monitor
  cable.

  I know several companies make monitor EMF shields, but they're all in
  the neighborhood of $800 -- is there anything I can get for under $100?
  It doesn't have to be perfect industrial quality...

It may not be less than $100 but should be less than $800 - Get an
electrician to check/fix the wiring in the wall.

 
 
 

1. Monitor flicker, caused by video card or monitor?

I've posted about this before. I used to think it was related to SuSE, but
a while back I installed Windows and my machine did the same thing.
Basically what it does is it subtly turns a little darker for a brief
second then goes back to normal. It happens randomly and it's extremely
annoying. I have an NEC CRT 17" monitor. Only like a year and a half old.
It's getting really old, though, and I'm not sure what to do.

Part of me wants to replace the monitor. But then another part of me says
that it could be the video card. I once tried to install Fedora Core 3 and
it wouldn't install. ALWAYS got hung up on configuring X. That seems like
a video card problem. Thoughts?
