not that easy
the settings are well within the range of the monitor, but for testing
I've gone down to horz 31.5-48.0 and vert 50-60 - nothing
As I've said, these are two different cards CT and VT4, one on CRT and
one on LCD, two different machines. I have another Monitor here which
specs well exceed the capabilities of the cards, I could hurl it over to
the Mach64 machines but I have the odd feeling that this won't help.
here's a diff of the logs, both drivers use the same settings, the same
modlines, choosing the same modes. There are 5 additional entries with
the new driver, see end of diff. These entries look curious but I can't
make anything of them.
