Re: Proble - XFree86 4.2 and ATI 3D Rage LT Pro
Another respondent suggested I run XFree86 -configure to get a starting
config file. I did, and it worked - although low res and distorted. I
then restored my original guess at synch rates, and got my original
symptons, which confirms your suggestion that my problem is related
to sync rates. I have a Compaq Presario MV500 monitor, and have no
timing data. The Compaq web page offers no data, either. Can anyone
help?
Thanks,
Russ
