I've recently installed Debian on another system with a 10-year-old monitor that turned out to be capable of some surprisingly fast scan rates, but only if given particular combinations of H and V frequencies. Fortunately the manual was available and listed these. I'm using the Elonex monitor in a system I'm putting together for a mate out of scrounged components, and I would like to get the best possible performance out of it. If nobody knows within a few days, I'll pull it apart and see if there are any google-worthy numbers on the circuit board, otherwise just assume slowish SVGA and hope for the best. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
