no, that's not it. Could it be that the monitor sense pins on the indy
think it's only a 1024x768 monitor? The monitor has 5xBNC connections (it's
multisync), with a macintosh monitor cable. That's plugged into a MAC->VGA
adapter, which is connected to the indy via a VGA->13W3 adapter. :-)
also, my memory's hazy, but I think it was working fine (but looking
terrible) before, when I had an 8-bit video board in there, and xfree 4.0 or
4.1.
