by Linuxers,
I just received my ATI GPT the other day. I am still using my ancient
fixed-frequency VGA monitor (Zenith ZCM-1492) until I can scrape up enough cash
to order a new one. So right now, I would just like to run 640x480x256 color
mode.
I installed the Mach64 patchlevel 2 X server and tried using the "640x480"
modeline supplied with XF86Config.eg. I fired it up and everything started ok
except the horizontal and vertical frame lengths seemed too large. The
displayed picture ran over the top/bottom and left/right edge of the screen. I
followed the instructions in the Hitchhiker's Guide and tried to shrink the
horizontal first. I dropped the horizontal frame length by 8 and started X
again. Blank screen. So I restored the original value, and tried playing with
the vertical frame length. Same result.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
I sure some of you will suggest a new monitor. Any specific brands or
models that work well with the ATI GPT?
