Hello David,
I know it isn't the Monitor because I screwed up a bit when
re-installing. It asks the default size and I gave one that was once
size too big.
Good quality CRTs will handle this, but I must have missed a previous
post with this detail.
I found the said file and the bits pertaining. But, there seem to be
quite a few. Should I change them all or only some?
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Lack of accurate specification, will always breed a problem.
HorizSync 28-48
VertRefresh 43-72
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
These rates seem low, unless you have an older monitor.
I would go here...

...get the appropriate specs, and then do dpkg -reconfigure.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC]"

Thank you Kindly in advance.
(And, by the bye, my Screen is not what it has listed (I. E.: ATI
Technologies, Inc. 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC].).
This is your graphic card, not your screen.
As long as that has been identified correctly, it won't be part of the
problem.
Does it
really matter or should I change it?)
I wouldn't touch it for now or you're going to find yourself with too
many problems.
Solve one at a time. Monitor first. If that doesn't work, we can start
to look at things like card definitions.
