I am guessing that the CRT is of the older type and it doesn't report its available resolutions, unlike the LCD. I would reinstall the EMC version that worked best on your hardware, and then edit the X configuration file to explicitly specify the monitor parameters (horizontal and vertical frequency range), along the lines of Section "Monitor" Identifier "CM752ET" HorizSync 31-101 VertRefresh 60-160 EndSection and call out the desired display resolution in Section "Screen" Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "CM752ET" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
