That sounds like your setup is making your card do things that your monitor cannot handle. My guess is that you were too optimistic about the max. horizontal and vertical frequencies for the monitor. > Should I fire up dselect and try to get a new (if ther is one) copy of > XFree86, and if so what should I get?

Instead of xf86config, the old config tool, use XF86Setup, which is much better looking and more helpful. > HW: > Oak Tech SVGA card > AST SVGA monitor XF86Setup (nor does xf86config) knows nothing about that particular monitor's capabilities. You have to know the vertical and horizontal frequencies it can handle. If you do not know those and cannot get this information from the dealer or manufacturer, you'll have to make an educated guess. With XF86Setp you can also select least common denominator settings for some standard monitor types. Cheers, Joost -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
