Samsung Monitor setup

Hardware Setup:
- ASUS P8H67-M Pro B3
- Club 3D Radeon R9 270 royalQueen:
*DP => works without any issues (DELL U2312HM)
*DVI => flickering, on/off (Samsung 2253LW)

Booting with the following parameters reduces the flickering, but still it keeps happening: radeon.audio=0 radeon.bapm=1 radeon.disp_priority=2 radeon.hw_i2c=1 radeon.msi=1 radeon.mst=1 radeon.tv=0

In Windows 8.1 this also happens, but less frequent then in Linux.

The Samsung monitor seems to be working fine (pretty old), but I think this could be a DVI issue (has only VGA/DVI-output), but can't test on HDMI.


Thanks and please let me know if more debug info is needed.

After upgrading the drivers, replacing cables, etc. The issue seems to be fixed. Sorry about the incomplete & mixed message. :)
