RE: [newbie] Video Card Problems
Josh, Have you got the screen and the monitor set up to be the same res? Tony. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 2:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Video Card Problems Hi again everyone. I've finally got Mandrake 92 up and running, can get to kde, got my video card configured, but somethings not quite right. When I have the resolution at 800x600 my screen is too small for the resolution, I need to move the mouse over to see the rest of the desktop. When I set it at 640x480 some of mandrakes config windows are too large for me to get to the OK buttons. I've spent hours (it seems like) choosing different configurations for the video card and have only got this one to work. The card is an S3 Trio 3d Onboard (86C386). I'm beginning to think I may need a new video card. Any more suggestions?
