At 10:35 PM 10/24/2002 -0700, you wrote: For what it's worth, I had a similar problem. First, I think you need the vertical and horizontal frequencies in the Monitor section- Mine is: HorizSync 30.0 - 95.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 This is specific to my kSony Trinitron MultiscanE500 - Yours will be different. I found that the default Depth did nothing for me, so I didn't enter it. Then, you will have to experiment with the Depth and Mode settings until you get one that works - this may be dependent on the video memory of your card. I got mine to work with Depth 8 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" and Depth 16 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" ; my card is supposed to support 1600x1200 and depth of 24 (I think), but what the hell, it works quite well.
