Problem summary

  • Screen flicker at 1024x768@75Hz and 1600x1200@60 Hz on GXT145
    graphics card.  Other resolution refresh rates work fine.
    

Problem conclusion

  • When the target frequency is 78.75MHz (unique to 1024x768@75Hz
    resolution) or 162MHz (unique to 1600x1200@60 Hz) the PLL
    (Phase Lock Loop) values are tested to lock 90/100 attempts.
    If this fails, the S bit is turned on (S=1) and the values are
    tested again for 90/100 attempts.  If the second test is
    successful the values are used, if not a -1 return code is
    returned.
