These two are independant values and entered separately from the amount of memory the card has. I am not at all familiar with your moniter but suspect these two values may be your problem-With out the two sync values X will default to 680x480-Of course your situation may vary-You don't say much else on the problem so this is only a GuESS-Hope this will help some-Good Luck Jeff Phillips To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
