We have to use them at work, and I notice that when I restart the X-server, it says "ugh" on detecting the card! BTW, if I secretly replaced the S3Trio with my old Trident3D (another notoriously cranky card), would it improve things at all?

Re: [newbie] Monitor/Resolution Problem
Probably won't be a lot of use here, but assuming you have correctly configured your monitor refresh rates/horizonta/vertical frequencies have you got access to another video card ? I ask because I had an S3Trio64/3D which I could never get to work, in the end I gave up and bought a different one On Saturday 22 December 2001 06:39 am, you wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a monitor that is NOT listed but does 1024/768 and an S3Trio Video > Card.

In X, I set up such monitors as "generic". If it is 17' I do 1024x768@70 Hz. If it is something lower, choose something that gives 56 Hz or 60Hz @ 1024x768. If these tries wont work, the error output would be nice. Honestly I never saw that error. Onur Kucuk _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] Monitor/Resolution Problem
Hi All, I have a monitor that is NOT listed but does 1024/768 and an S3Trio Video Card. Once I've picked ANYTHING for monitor and/or resolution my computer hangs with some message about nodevice. I can reproduce this message exactly if you need to see it fully, but does anyone have any ideas that might get me up and running? Regards Trevor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
