Windows 3.11. Are you using that now? No probably not. Does 9X, 2000, or any other new M$ breed work? That would be interesting. Sometimes old hardware is sure nice to have around as a spare, but at $200.00 for a decent monitor that includes all horiz/vert timings I'd say maybe it's time to move on. As a side, I consider having the opportunity to modify my monitor's scan rates quite a bonus and something as the owner of the hardware/software should be allowed to do. Not rely on some companies 'default should work for everyone' profile. I am using 815e and had similar difficulties to the ones you talked about. After a few weeks of research I figured it out and am happy with the results. Was I frustrated? Yes at the time. Is it FreeBSD/developers fault or even XFree86? Nope. Notta. I know that much more now and in fact have two video cards in my box supporting two monitors off of the same X... All learned while working on figuring out my 815e problems. My 2 cents. R.
