Hi again, I have a question about entering monitor resolutions in "advanced" mode in another Linux flavor and PPC hardware, but as far as I understand, the principle should be one of the few universal elements in all Linux distros. I am trying to install Yellow Dog Linux on a UMAX Pulsar (Mac clone) but keep getting hung up on monitor resolution. There is not test mode as in Mandrake. An advanced mode example would be a monitor that can do 1280x1024 resolution at 85Hz, where the option for horizontal monitor sync would be 31.5 - 95.0. There must be someone out there with experience in this area. For anyone wishing to make snide "wrong list" remarks, I have tried the "right" list and no help was available. I also at the same time made a point out complaining that there was no "test" possibility during the install procedure like in my favorite distro - Mandrake. I am using a Matrox card and monitor resolution is usually set at 832x624 resolution at 75Hz, but settings show that I also could set it at 832x624 resolution at 85Hz, 800x600 resolution at 85Hz, 1024x768 resolution at 60, 67, 74.9 or 85Hz or at 640x480 resolution at 60 or 85Hz. What would the option for horizontal monitor sync be? How do I determine the vertical monitor sync? The monitor is an Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display. According to the manual it is multiple scan, resolution range 640 x 480 to 1024 x 768 and with a 0.28 mm dot pitch. Cheers, Brian --
