First off, I just wanted to thank those who have helped me before regarding the ports and xfree setup... WIth that.. I guess I'll move on.. Not knowing much about monitors, I found the following on my monitor: ############################################################################### # Monitor: Seiko CM 1440 # Contributor: Jeff Jennings [jennings@stortek.com] # Last Edit Date: 12/9/91 # # name clock horizontal timing vertical timing flags "1024x768i" 45 1024 1064 1224 1264 768 777 785 817 Interlace "1152x900i" 45 1152 1184 1288 1360 900 898 929 939 Interlace -------------------------------- Ok, I'm currently using a Diamond Stealth 24 VLB with 1 meg video RAM. This monitor will do 1024x768 in (yuck) Win95. I do realize this is a RTFM question, but the problem is I'm not confident in setting this up with all the warnings I keep seeing about how I can blow up the monitor with the wrong setup. As it is now, I'm using the S3 server, in 1024x768 using the SVGA 1024x768 interlace monitor selection in the Xfree86 config program. Only problem is, at the very top of the monitor, about 1/4 of an inch is "warped", which I'm assuming means I don't have the scan rates right. I need to fix this, obviously. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me the numbers to put in, in the Graphical Xfree86 config program in the monitors tab. If there is any other information I need to know, I could use that too. Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide. Now that I have FreeBSD config'd and have Xfree86 running with AfterStep, it's a pretty sight. If I could just get this monitor problem worked out, I'd feel a lot better. - Brian
