Down to my last serious transition question! It has only been a month+ and BSD is wonderfully capabable... so this has been a record upgrade. Does anybody on the mailinglist have a ViewSonic7 CRT that is working at its highest resolution? I've got a rather generic TS4000 card with 2M of VRAM. The card is a ``Cardex-PCI'' super accelerated whatever. According to the stats on the back on the box, it is a good card, solid value. My monitor is a 1992 model that in the manual claims it will do 1280x1024. In the video config files, however, I saw that recently (August, 1994?), someone had a setup for the ViewSonic7 maxed out at something around 1152x900. Originally, I spent a number of hours over a day or two trying to get my V7 working at 1024x768. The published configuration was off by quite a bit; I had to adjust the horizontal sync figured before it began working. Then a few weeks ago I tried 1280x1024. Zip. Bottom line//nutshell: before spending more headbanging hours on this, I thought I would ask the rest of you. Does the configuration depend upon the type of video card?? I hope not. Does anybody have a ViewSonic7 working at <<whatever>> highest resolution? and how does it feel to your eyes? Thanks for any insights! This is a great bunch... and, by extension, BSD is a superior OS. gary kline
