Very Computer

Anyways, I have a

P II 266, 64 meg ram
ATI Xpert 98 AGP w/ 8 meg
Tatung CM-15VDE Monitor

I ran Xconfigurator and It detected my video card initially and suggested
the Mach64 chip ( which is right -- Suse's Xfree86 list of supported cards
put mine under the mach64 server ). It did however have trouble doing an
inital probe and asked me to specify the ram. I did, it probed again and
seemed to work.

I then entered my monitor data under custom ( since there was not a listing
for my exact monitor ). The value I entered were:

50 -100hz (vertical ).

I then selected all of the various resolution up to and including 1024 x 768
for 8, 16 and 24 bit colour. This all seem to go well.

However, when I ran startx the screen was not displaying properly. I could
sort of see the screen but it had rolling vertical lines and appeared to be
displaying the screen twice. I've seen this in windows if you try to use a
resolution higher than what the monitor is capable of , however in this case
as far as I can tell I am not.

Any ideas? help please... remove the obvious from the email

horizontal? 30-50
vertical? 50-100

If you answered exactly like:

vertical? 50 -100hz

it would be a wonder you would get as far as you say you did.  Please
note that the H-sync value (30-50) above is for example only, it's use
could kill your monitor if it's not a correct value.

Go read your monitor manual again.
