Steve's fix confused me a bit at first, when you select a resolution and select test, it shows a fine checker pattern screen, with a dialogue box asking do you want to accept etc, rather than showing the real desktop. Gave me the impression it wasn't working. Also even on a working screen, it says "test failed" ;) Steve Blackmore -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
