Re: [newbie] Linux Mandrake 7.0 with Packard Bell Monitor
Hi, Here's some more detail: Video Card: (output from SuperProbe) Super-VGA Chipset - Silicon Integrated Systems 5597/5598 (PCI Probed) Memory - 512 Kbytes RAMDAC - SiS built-in DAC w/clock (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) Monitor: (off the back...haven't tracked down the manual yet) Packard Bell Model #: 20245 100-240v 50-60 Hz 1.5A Does it seem like I should be able to configure it? I haven't been able toeven edited the file generated by xconfigurator after creating it to change to specifically that Hz range...still didn't work...do I need to install another X server other than what was the default from the install? Another odditythe GUI install comes up really nice and looks really good...I was definitely surprised after that happened and then I get such an ugly X session. Thanks for any help in advance. Tim.

Hi Tim, I'm supprised at the minimal config. I'm running a Packard bell civic 300 with 64M of RAM, a vodoo 3dfx card and a packardbell monitor at 32 bit true colour, 800x600 resolution just perfectly. I'll have a look through my installation procedures again and check it out. If you could give more info it would be good (your card for example-before I had a maxi gamer pheonix2 without success and had to resort to the minimum settings) Bye for now -- Scotchpie
