Re: Help - X meets my OLD monitor

[MallarJ@aol.com]

Jon,

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, burining my monitor out while playing
around with the numbers.

I sure wish I knew how Win95 handles the monitor...   By the way, I use
standard monitor types in Win95 with it - would that indicate that the 800x600
standard VESA mode would be applicable??

Thanks for the help,
Jay
