Help.
I am running XFree 4.0.2, I have a XF86Config in /etc/X11/XF86Config
with, as far
as I can tell, the proper monitor settings and the nearest adapter
settings. When I
attempt to get the "1600x1200" resolution with depth 24, I get a very
distorted (illegible
screen) with large horizontal waviness. This prevents me from tweaking
using xvidtune
unfortunately.
I am using a Voodoo 4500 AGP card (32 MB RAM) by 3DFX (too bad it went
bankrupt.)
I have a 21" Viewsonic P810. I used the manufactures values for the
scan rates.
If anyone has this resolution/depth with the same videocard (Voodoo 4)
can you please
pass along the Modeline used. Or if anyone sees a obvious flaw in my
configuration,
I would appreciate knowing it. Then again, any piece of advice is
helpful.
Thanks for reading this far,
George Houpis
