Hi, folks, I've moved on up to 4.9 and, along with my continuing mouse problems, am a bit scared of setting up X. I've got an older monitor, an Apple Multiple Scan 1705, and a video adapter that doesn't appear to be in the supported list, an Intel 82810. (There's an Intel 810, but not an 82810, in the setup menu.) The warnings I see about possibly frying monitors by getting scan rates wrong have me a bit spooked. The manual for the monitor gives various scan rates for various modes of operation--I was thinking about putting a range in that was a bit lower on the low end than the lowest listed entry, and a bit lower on the high end than the highest listed entry. Any thoughts? I wouldn't mind explicit instructions, but guided self-help would be ideal. Thanks, John A
