I tried 16 bit, also tried the super vga interlaced now, but still no result...
I think I just download and try 9.1rc tomorrow, ok, it's a rc, beta, whatever, but maybe that one works :). Control+alt+backspace didn't work (maybe because that was not implemented in 8.2?) so I had to restart each time. I also found that HOWTO on the net, that is a little too complicated for me, but if 9.1 also won't work I'll try it for sure! On the other side, I need to buy a new monitor anyway, this one sucks... > BTW what version of Xfree86 are running?
