Still looking for answers here, been through the volumious archives
and man pages regarding vidcontrol, vga, and vidfont. Saw some PR's
also but don't know if they apply to my problem.
>From some of the past threads I get the impression that the
"vidcontrol -i mode" command shows results for modes that really are
not available, is this the case? would the modes numbers below 100 be
the ones taht are truely available ?
If my assumption above is incorrect and my Matrox G400 will support the
mode "266 (0x10a) 0x0009 T 132x43 8x8" then is the reason my monitor
goes black/blank when switching to that mode due to a monitor syncing
issue ? and are there any ways to try to fix that ?
