Well other than that the motherboard, it's chipsets, and the monitor,
etc. down to the power supply and the oulet it's plugged into (hopefully
on an UPS), and how well it's all configured from the bios on up, all have
somethin to do with what you see on the screen, no ;>>
I've got a 3 yr. old V3-2k pci on an BX motherboard oc'd 135%,
with X at 1024x768x16 and a very el cheapo ($150) 17" MagView. I just
tried C-A- +/- and it switched resolutions just fine. KDE2.1, XF-4.0.2,
LM7.2, 2.4.2
The only thing I can think of that might help is the first thing to do
with a Voodoo3 is to take one sheet metal screw and use it to attach a $2
cpu fan to it's heatsink. Other than that, I doubt the Vcard is the
culprit. Prob'ly the next most important factor is to not try'an run any
3dfx card with X at any resolution more than 16bpp.
