Hi all,
I have here an old (circa '95) 15" analog monitor which is labelled as
being a Data General Multisync SVGA. The DG part number from the rear of
the monitor is: 7033D. I have searched all over looking for the specs
for this device but without success. I know that DG is a vestige of the
past, (absorbed by Compaq?? I think.)
I need to get this monitor going for a test machine I'm building up, but
each time I attempt to get the X-Server going with either Xconfigurator
or XF86config for 640x480 or 600x800, it tests ok, and gives me
acceptable resolution BUT the entire system appears to lockup when one
exits from the config program. This behaviour is constant regardless of
which of the "generic' display characteristics I select.
If I substitute the CTX-1451 monitor from my normal working system
everything works as expected and I'm able to use the system in a
'normal' manner, which would seem to suggest that the problem is not
connected to my S3 Virge 86C325 vidcard.
Does anyone have either the specs for the monitor or know of a utiliy
with which I could interactively test to find out what the Horizondal
and Vertical sync rates are?
Cheers
John
