Unless if you have an old mechanical monitor where you should manually replace your magnets :D this won't work in that case. -- http://www.de-brauwer.be
Re: XFree86 on Sunblade 150
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have seen similar problems on an Ultra 5 when trying to use a TFT screen. In my case the whole screen was very shakey and i couldnt mange to adjust the screen to cope. If your screen is a TFT (dont know is a SB150 is vga or not) try hitching up a CRT.

What you've described/drawn sounds like less of an X problem and more of an adjustment problem on the monitor. You should be able to use the buttons on the monitor to adjust out the bend. Of course, if that messes up the console image, then I'm wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong; there was that time in 1974) -- Kent
XFree86 on Sunblade 150
I am trying to configure X on a SunBlade 150. I am using the ati Mach64 server, and it is working enough to where I can get a desktop and I can set my resolution, and see things just fine. The problem I have is that the top 2 inches of the screen seem to "bend" to the right about a half inch. Other than this the X-Server seems to be running well. I have drawn up a VERY dirty sketch of what the screen looks like just to try to explain, it can be found here: http://www.violentsin.com/images/X-Distoreted.png Any help would be appreciated.
