Today I found the time to do a minimal check of the 'Monitor' software application from Onyx - that which uses HDMI as the input -, and correct the first problems - first in the list, the EPD mode forced to A2 instead of free.

And it was a minimal change, and it went well, it works: with this modification on the 'Monitor' software (you will see a "Monitor MOD" icon next to the original "Monitor" icon) the EPD update mode is preserved, you can keep either Normal or A2.

But, it revealed the underlying fault: the screen is really somehow flashing. You can see it in the video attached: the original desktop is static, but the clone in the monitor (the Max2) is updating something every heartbit. You can see it less in A2 mode, but it is evident in normal mode.

Anybody can pinpoint where the fault can be?
