Hey, I got an idea. Every time you want to open or close the cat door, set the refresh rate of your monitor to 60, then quickly back to 85. It's like a garage door opener for free.
Heck, you could probably write an sh script that did that. Call it opendoor.sh and closedoor.sh. All they do is tweak the refresh rate

Wow, I remember this thread.
Never really checked back to see the solution to the problem. Refresh rate screws with cat door. When's the cat door company going to issue a recall on the thing?

Are you on a network?
Make sure you are using (at least) cat5 cabling. A better cat might just be the answer.  | |

Good Lord!
Almost four years on, and this thread just won't die! I know 'Please Ignore' has far more posts, but this has to be some kind of record for longevity. I still tell this story to people.
