Hmmm... I really don't understand that. I have a 22-inch monitor that can easily handle 1600x1200, and the video card has 8meg of memory. I tried lowering the settings, though, and it didn't really change anything, except to make the problems visually bigger.
Looks like this isn't really a mandrake problem, but X. Do you know of a good mailing list or newsgroup for getting help with my problem? There must be someone out there who has done this already. Maybe I'll have to upgrade the video card. For some reason I have this obsession with using up my old hardware. The system in question is still using my keyboard, floppy, CD and soundcard from 1993, and the video card is from 1998. I hate to replace the video while I still have other stuff that's five years older. It's not the money, just a psychological block. :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Mike Morrell > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:59 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [expert] need help to configure X > > > Looks like the 1280x1024 mode is too high for your > monitor to handle.
