I have an old (1996) Micron monitor that I am trying to use
with a Dell 2350 PC running Red Hat Linux 8.0. The PC video card uses an
Intel 82845G graphics chip. In the Red Hat configuration, I accepted the
default for the monitor:
Horizontal 31.5 - 48.5
KHz
Vertical 50-70 Hz
800x600 16 bit
color
The windows in Linux display correctly for the top 4" and
the bottom. From 4" to 5.2" it shows part of a line repeated
several times, on top of itself; unintelligible. If I move the cursor to
the garbled portion, any live buttons display OK.
Micron (now MPC) does not have any info on this display (model
#15FGx, part #MNN001004).
The display works OK with WinXP home. WinXP uses
800x600, 32 bit color, 75 Hz refresh; don't know what frequencies.
I have tried different resolutions and refresh rates. These
changes are either negligible or distort the display even worse.
How can I get this monitor to work with Linux?
