[WelMac] Troubleshooting - new Intel iMac 2.0GHz 20 inch LCD - screen flicker after coming out of screen-saver mode

[Waiton]

Hi all

I'd originally posted on the forums and was advised to try this mailing forum. If anyone can help that would be awesome, or if anyone else is having this issue, let's discuss it.

 When waking up the iMac from screen-saver mode, the screen fllickers very fast (like on old CRT monitors but quite disturbingly) for a period (sometimes a couple minutes, sometimes up to 20 minutes). A full shut down followed by about 10 minutes staying off solves the problem but it still occurs the next time it comes out of screen-saver. 
  
All programs function as they should, just the screen flickers... a search on the Apple website forums results in a few threads that mention this as well but with no solution. 

I've since disabled the screensaver and resorted to getting the monitor to shut down after a short idle time instead. Waking up the monitor from this doesn't give me the flicker so that's a work-around I'm using. However, I like to use the screensaver because I can set a password request upon waking, but having the monitor shut down and wakeup doesn't let me put a password on - it just starts straight into whatever was on before going to sleep.

Anyone else with this issue?

Regards
Waiton.
