If using the monitor is causing headaches, it ain't the brightness/contrast,
it's the refresh rate. On an CRT, you should be running at least 100 if not
120Mhz refresh rate, plenty fast for your brain not to see the "flicker". I
suffer from extreme migraines, and have since moved to LCD screens, and
although the refresh rate of 75Mhz is slow, LCD's don't flicker like CRT's,
not to mention the increase clarity of the fonts and graphics. I have dual
19" NEC XtraView+, running at 1280x1040 resolution, with 75Mhz refresh rate
and true color. I've downloaded and installed the "ClearType PowerToy" so I
could adjust the font clarity to my liking, and I very rarely, if ever have
had a headache due to reading/viewing on my computer.
As far as the RedHat thing, I run Fedora Core 3 on a totally separate box,
with a screen resolution of 1024x800, but I very seldom use the 21" CRT
connected to it, most of my work is done via VNC, some my window actually
shows up on my Windows 2k3 monitor, as another window to another
application. I use SAMBA to share the Linux Mount Points with my network
(Home Workgroup), but as I said, the mouse, keyboard and monitor on the
Linux box mostly collects dust, at the VNC interface allows me to use the
same mouse, keyboard and monitor to work on both.
